Shocking that the most eugenic wealth aggregators are still the most eugenic wealth aggregators. And I thought the family of the drunken spendthrift would rise like cream.

There's another mechanism I think is more common: culling. Only the successful branches are counted as the next generation. The tycoon's capable son keeps the wealth, name and history of the family; his other 3 useless sons become commoners and are forgotten.

Hence why the ducal family is still in power and apparently as capable as ever, and every commoner in the fief claims to be distantly related to the duke.
