Gustave Samuel James de Rothschild, Baron de Rothschild (17 February 1829 in Paris – 28 November 1911 in Paris), was a French banker and scion of the French branch of the Rothschild family.
Early life
[edit]He was the second son of James Mayer de Rothschild and Betty Salomon von Rothschild (of the German branch of the same family).
He built the Château de Laversine in Saint-Maximin near Chantilly.[1]
Personal life
[edit]In accordance with Rothschild tradition, Gustave was expected to marry a cousin, and his family hoped that he would propose to one of his cousins, Mathilde von Rothschild or Evelina de Rothschild.[2] Instead, in 1859, Gustave married Cécile Anspach, the daughter of a high official in the Court of Cassation, and they had six children:
- Octave de Rothschild (1860–1860), who died young.
- Zoé Lucie Betty de Rothschild (1863–1916), who married Belgian banker Léon Lambert in 1882.
- Aline Caroline de Rothschild (1867–1909), who married Sir Edward Albert Sassoon (1856–1912) in 1887.
- Bertha Juliette de Rothschild (1870–1896), who died unmarried.
- André de Rothschild (1874–1877), who died young.
- Robert de Rothschild (1880–1946), who married Gabrielle Nelly Régine Beer in 1907.[3]
He was rumored to be the lover of Marguerite Durand, publisher of La Fronde.[4]
