Moritz Daniel Oppenheim: Marriage portrait of Charlotte de Rothschild, 1836

The Rothschild family (Modèle:IPAc-en) is a wealthy Ashkenazi Jewish family originally from Frankfurt that rose to prominence with Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812), a court factor to the German Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel in the Free City of Frankfurt, Holy Roman Empire, who established his banking business in the 1760s.[1] Unlike most previous court factors, Rothschild managed to bequeath his wealth and established an international banking family through his five sons,[2] who established businesses in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna, and Naples. The family was elevated to noble rank in the Holy Roman Empire and the United Kingdom.[3][4] The family's documented history starts in 16th century Frankfurt; its name is derived from the family house, Rothschild, built by Isaak Elchanan Bacharach in Frankfurt in 1567.
