Typically the "founder" is a smart opportunist with serious work ethic, but the descendents are often complete losers. It is difficult to raise a prince within the palace without spoiling him. The Ottoman Turks used to send the boys to livewith some provincial nobility away from the palace intrigues, and encouraged murder within the family--as in kill your half brother so he doesn't kill you. That dynasty holds the record for a "single" ruling family remaining in control--600 years. |
