{geni:about_me} In 1907 Charles Rothschild married Rozsika Edle von Wertheimstein (1870 – 30 June 1940), whose family was the first Jewish family in Europe to be ennobled. She was born in 1870 at Nagyvarad, Hungary (now the Romanian city of Oradea), the daughter of a retired army officer, Captain Alfred Edler von Wertheimstein.

Rozsika was one of seven children. She was a very beautiful woman with dark brown eyes. Each eye had a purple ring to it, and they could flicker strangely. She was a voracious reader. Every day she had a Hungarian newspaper, a German newspaper, an English newspaper, and quite often a French one, too, and she read all the political articles in these papers. Rozsika had been a champion lawn tennis player in Hungary.

After their marriage on 6 February 1907, they lived at Tring and in London. Charles, who worked in the family’s banking business was a dedicated naturalist in his spare time: the young couple had met on a butterfly-collecting tripin the Carpathian Mountains. In the evening, the Rothschilds might go together to a concert or a dinner party, but Charles really preferred to sort out his butterflies. Charles's tragic suicide in 1923 when he was 46 years old was a terrible shock to his wife and four children. Rozsika von Wertheimstein died on 30 June 1940.
