==Hereditary titles== In 1816, four of the five sons of Mayer Amschel Rothschild were elevated to the [[Austrian nobility]] by Emperor [[Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor|Francis I of Austria]].<ref name="Wurzbach1874">{{cite book|author=Constantin von Wurzbach|title=Biographisches Lexikon des Kaiserthums Oesterreich|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bb1gAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA120|access-date=26 February 2018|year=1874|publisher=Zamarski|location=Vienna|language=de|page=120|archive-date=26 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230326031112/https://books.google.com/books?id=bb1gAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA120|url-status=live}}</ref> The remaining son, [[Nathan Mayer Rothschild|Nathan]], was elevated in 1818.{{dubious|reason=citation please as Wurzbach, in 1874, mentions 1816 Adelungen with offer to NMR, and 1822 Freiherrnstand to all 5 β presumably incl.
