(British Museum Papers, Hidden Hand, page 119)<br />

In <strong>the</strong>se momentous events, Disraeli played a big role,<br />

ei<strong>the</strong>r as a "confessor" or advisor to <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds. How <strong>the</strong><br />

Rothschilds gained control of Marie Louise is told by Mrs. Edith<br />

E. Cu<strong>the</strong>ll in her book, An Imperial Victim:<br />

In December 1827 Marie Louise, <strong>the</strong> widow of Napoleon<br />

1 raised a loan often ten million francs from Rothschild.<br />

On February 22, 1829, she lost her husband Count<br />

Neipperg, which remained a mystery to all historians.<br />

Prince Metternich who had been a mere "clerk " of<br />

Salomon Rothschild of Vienna, told Bombelles, ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

Rothschild protege that he wished a man who could guide<br />

<strong>the</strong> weak character of Marie Louise. Bombelles became<br />

<strong>the</strong> confidant of Marie Louise and <strong>the</strong>n married her.<br />

The Rothschilds now had complete control of Napoleon's<br />

widow through Bombelles who had captured her heart while she<br />

was still Countess Niepperg.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> author Edmond Rostand, Bombelles was<br />

extremely handsome. Writing of Bombelles, Mrs. E.E. Cuthwell<br />

describes him thus:<br />

He has even more ambition. With his soft voice he<br />

whispered into <strong>the</strong> ears of women. Bombelles wished to<br />

marry a Mlle Cavanaugh, who had money. He gained his<br />

object. His wife died, bequeathing him her heart in a<br />

leaden case. He buried it. A year later he had a desperate<br />

passion for ano<strong>the</strong>r rich heiress, who declined it. (An<br />

Imperial Victim, page 321)
