Editing The House of Rothschild (section)

==Historical accuracy==
The film takes several creative liberties with Rothschild family history. Amschel Rothschild did not die until 1812, during the later stages of the Napoleonic Wars he is portrayed as not having lived to see. Only two of his five sons were actually present at his death bed; the rest were already established in other European countries.<ref>{{IMDb title|id=0025272|title=The House of Rothschild}}</ref>

Nathan Rothschild (born 1777) would have been only three years old in 1780, when the film begins. The relationship between Captain Fitzroy and Julie Rothschild is fictional; Nathan Rothschild had no daughter named Julie. The Captain Fitzroy who did become his son-in-law (albeit after Nathan died in 1836) was born in 1807, therefore a child at the time of Waterloo, and married in 1839 Hannah Rothschild, Nathan's second daughter (born 1815).

Also, in the 18th century [[Free City of Frankfurt|Frankfurt was a Free City]] in the [[Holy Roman Empire]]. It did not belong to Prussia until 1866.

The Prussian Count Ledrantz, Nathan Mayer's antagonist, was a purely fictional character written into the story by Nunally Johnson.<ref name=goldman/>
