The Rothschild Dynasty 9<br />

(negotiated by Amschel) was paid to <strong>the</strong> Landgrave in drafts. That<br />

portion of <strong>the</strong> money actually transferred to Kassel was <strong>the</strong>n used<br />

to provide high interest loans to o<strong>the</strong>r needy princes. This<br />

resulted in a tremendous movement of funds in and out of Kassel<br />

with substantial income for <strong>the</strong> Landgrave, who had taken up<br />

with <strong>the</strong> Von Turn and Taxis family who held <strong>the</strong> postal<br />

monopoly for all of Europe. The mercenaries, who had done <strong>the</strong><br />

most to earn <strong>the</strong> money, got nothing, but <strong>the</strong> bare promised<br />

These facts are indeed far from <strong>the</strong> romantic notions of<br />

how Amschel got his start, and more fully disclosed than anything<br />

that has appeared in print before. Critics say that <strong>the</strong> facts are far<br />

from those suggested in <strong>the</strong> Encyclopedia. Cherep-Spiridovich<br />

says bluntly, that <strong>the</strong> money was not returned to <strong>the</strong> Landgrave<br />

and was in fact stolen by Amschel. In The Rothschild Money<br />

Trust, author Armstrong states:<br />

The facts are entirely 'less romantic.' Mayer Amschel<br />

Rothschild embezzled <strong>the</strong> money. This money was<br />

tainted from its origin. It was paid by <strong>the</strong> British<br />

Government to <strong>the</strong> Landgrave for <strong>the</strong> service of his
