 The Science Show: 26 March  2005  - Vale Miriam Rothschild, 1908 - 2005
When Charles Rothschild started his collection back in the 1880s a local wit claimed the most precious specimen had cost the owner a thousand pounds, but on closer inspection it turned out to have escaped from the family bank.
Miriam Rothschild: The interesting thing was that these very brightly coloured butterflies, which were obviously disagreeable to the taste of birds, often fed on toxic plants and it had long been thought that they’d probably collected caterpillars to sequester the poisons from the plant and store them in their bodies.
Rather along the lines of Miriam Rothschild, who’s been such a great pioneer of so many of these things over the years, and at a time when nobody wanted to know she was still determinately going on doing wonderful things, I think, trying to save different species and habitats and so on.

 The House of Rothschild - Niall Ferguson - Penguin Group (USA)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
There were limits to what the Rothschilds were prepared to inflict on their daughters, as became apparent when old Amschel announced shortly after his wife's death that he wished to remarry none other than his own grand-niece, the much sought-after Julie (who was not yet twenty).
As Charlotte emphasised, endogamy continued to be partly a function of the Rothschilds' Judaism: the family policy remained that sons and daughters could not marry outside their faith (even if they were socially so superior to their co-religionists that they could not marry outside the family either).
The extent of Rothschild religious commitment in this period should not be underestimated: if anything, it was greater than had been the case in the 1820s and 1830s, and this was another important source of familial unity in the period after 1848.
