Stature
Stature is one of the more important personal characteristics in the game, particularly if you are a king or magnate (as taxes collected depend on stature). Most calculations in the game use stature. Stature is just that, what your peers (and many of the common folk) think of you. It is your reputation in 14th century terms. Some things increase stature, others lower it. Stature can be no higher than 9, and no lower than 0. Your "base stature" is determined by your noble rank and age. A list of the ranks is found in The Aristocracy . The rank used is the highest of the several noble titles you can hold. Next comes age, as you get older, your base stature increases.
Base Stature is calculated by rank and age as follows;
| Rank | Stature |
| 1-3 (Popes and Kings) | 6 |
| 4-7 (Prince-Bishops and Dukes) | 5 |
| 8-9 (Princes) | 4 |
| 10-12 (Marquis and Counts) | 3 |
| 13-15 (Viscount and Barons) | 2 |
| 16-17 (just about everyone else) | 1 |

When your daughters, granddaughters, etc. marry up you will receive .4 stature increase for every point they marry up. So lets say you have a rank of 12 and you marry your daughter into a family that has a rank of 8 you would get a 1.6 stature increase.
