The Case of The French Boxes
Waddesdon Manor


The Rothschild banking dynasty was immensely powerful in 19th century Europe. From roots in the Jewish ghetto in Frankfurt, Mayer Amschel's five sons set up a banking network in the then five major financial capitals of Europe - London, Frankfurt, Paris, Naples and Vienna. The Five Arrows, as they became known, did well, creating vast wealth and establishing themselves at the very peak of European society.

The family, renowned for it business acumen was also responsible for the creation of over forty magnificent buildings in Europe. On a hilltop overlooking the Aylesbury Vale, Waddesdon Manor is the last remaining complete example of le style Rothschild.
