Well, we do have a family history, but even that doesn't differentiate between fame and infamy. Sure there are fame points, but that's something different. It's more akin to achievements in those Xbox games.
I think it might work well if we just list the things that happened and let players decide for themselves whether it's good or bad. I mean, look at some families (*cough* Lef-- *cough* ahem, phew fried chicken) that have had probably more bans and more rebellion leaders than anyone else (Not to mention the ones undocumented on the family history like being the actual mastermind behind the rebellion and/or secession, or being the evil dude who screwed over everyone else, or allying with monsters for bad intentions.
Ok, so maybe it might help to have easier to view categories, because apparently characters either don't care about what other noble families' members have done in the past (Which is simply absurd. As far as I know, a noble was judged as much, if not more, for what his family was and did than his own achievements. Hence, the importance of bloodline, where the noble was really jsut the guy to continue the blood to the next generation while acting in a way such as not to bring shame to the family name. Could be wrong, since I'm not a Medieval Studies Ph.D., but eh, I thought that the whole "Individual Merit" thing was a commoner idea born when the social stratification relaxed a bit...but still centuries after the Middle Ages.)
