No family in modern history has attracted more legend, more fabricated narrative, and more deliberate falsification than the Rothschilds. The Waterloo coup story (that Nathan Mayer Rothschild learned of Napoleon's defeat before the British government and used the information to corner the British government bond market) appears in no primary source contemporary with the events. Niall Ferguson, who had full access to the Rothschild Archive London across two volumes and seven years of research, found no evidence for it. Its earliest traceable form is a 1846 French pamphlet by Georges Mathieu-Dairnvaell, writing under the pseudonym "Satan," as anti-Rothschild political propaganda.
This dossier conducts a systematic primary-source audit of the major Rothschild legends against what is actually documented in four authoritative scholarly works: Niall Ferguson's two-volume House of Rothschild (1998–1999), Egon Caesar Corti's The Rise of the House of Rothschild (1928) and The Reign of the House of Rothschild (1928), and John F. Pollard's Money and the Rise of the Modern Papacy (2005). It identifies twenty confirmed negatives (specific claims that are directly contradicted by primary evidence) and nine documented findings that establish what is actually recorded. It traces the fabrication architecture of the two major myth chains (Waterloo and Protocols) and identifies the documented genealogical connection between them.
