Dishonor is the best meaning of the word “infamy”.

Further Explanation:

In a literal sense, infamy means public reproach, extremely bad reputation, strong condemnation as a consequence of the outrageous or shameful act. In other words, it is defined as “notoriety”, or a person’s reputation of negative or bad behavior.

Infamy is referred to as a person who gets famous for something negative and bad. The word “infamy” is often used to talk about people who are terrible people or famously evil or historical events. The day when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese, just prior to the beginning of WW II, it was illustrated by President Roosevelt as “a day that will live in infamy”. Infamy includes the root word “fame”, but rather than its meaning, “the opposite of the word famous”, the meaning of infamy is something nearer to “fame gone bad”.

Explanation:

Chartered Companies like the Massachusetts Bay Company and Hudson's Bay Company were given the right to a total monopoly on trade in a region, and this monopoly was (for economic reasons) often reinforced by military force. Notably, this was not because they supplied monarchs with exotic materials, but principally for Mercantalist purposes (although the former also played a role).
