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 />
amounts, as <strong>the</strong>y were not privy to <strong>the</strong> "private" side-agreement<br />
done behind <strong>the</strong>ir backs.<br />
The Princes of Von Thurn and Taxis (members of <strong>the</strong><br />
Committee of 300) were happy to have a share in <strong>the</strong> booty in<br />

delivery of <strong>the</strong> letters to <strong>the</strong> benefit of <strong>the</strong> Landgrave and Mayer<br />
Amschel — and to <strong>the</strong> detriment of <strong>the</strong>ir debtors.<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
