The Rothschild Dynasty

many of the facts as fiction, lest the wrath of men should explode
upon the revelations it contained. "Sidonia" was undoubtedly
Lionel Rothschild and Coningsby, but a fictionalized account of
his deeds:
When he was nineteen, Sidonia who had then resided
with his uncle at Naples, made a long visit to another of
his father's relatives at Frankfurt. Between Paris and
Naples, Sidonia passed two years. It was impossible to
penetrate him. His frankness was strictly limited to the
surface. He observed everything, though over-cautious,
but avoided serious discussion. He was a man without
affection.
Karl Rothschild lived in Naples, and Mayer Amschel
lived in Frankfurt, so it does not take much to conclude, that
"Sidonia" was Lionel Rothschild, and thus concluding, we obtain
from Coningsby, one of the best and most accurate detailed
accounts of the Rothschilds and their rise to power possibly ever
written.
