National betrayal
That's an interesting tail.
Corruption of Blood.
Corruption of blood is one of the consequences of attainder. The descendants of an attainted person could not inherit either from the attainted person (whose property had been forfeited by the attainder) or from their other relatives through him. For example, if a person is executed for a crime leaving innocent children, the property of the criminal is forfeited to the crown and will not pass to the children. When the criminal's innocent father outlives his son, the property inherited by the criminal from the father cannot be inherited by the criminal's children either: it will be distributed among other family members.[citation needed]
The United States Constitution prohibits corruption of blood as a punishment for treason.[9] In England and Wales, corruption of blood was abolished by the Corruption of Blood Act 1814.
