The name ~ancestor~ suggests you count an above-average number of business people and persons of authority (possibly in the military) among your ancestors. However, it is also likely there were a few con artists, or rebels who challenged authority for the simple satisfaction of taking down the powerful. 

One way or another authority has probably been an issue, either by representing it or fighting it. The name implies there may have been infighting among your ancestor's siblings as well, due to their independent, ambitious temperaments.
 
Some of your ancestors were capable of accumulating great wealth or impressive art collections, but here, too, there were likely considerable extremes. Some predecessors may have flourished while others went broke, due to their willingness to take risks. Whether your forebears died wealthy or in poverty, it would seem few were moderate in anything.
