Maurice Edmond Karl de Rothschild (May 19, 1881 – September 4, 1957) was an art collector, vineyard owner, financier, Senator of France, and one of the most financially successful members of the prominent Rothschild banking family of France. The second child of Edmond James de Rothschild (1845–1934) and Adelheid von Rothschild (1853–1935), he was born in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris and raised there at the Château Rothschild, Boulogne-Billancourt.〔(Maurice de Rothschild biography at the Senate of France )〕 Maurice de Rothschild inherited a fortune from the childless (1823-1900) of the Naples branch of the family and moved to Geneva, Switzerland where he perpetuated the new Swiss branch of the family. In 1909 Maurice de Rothschild married Noémie Claire Alice Palmyre Halphen (1888–1968). Her mother was Marie Hermine Rodrigues Péreire (1860–1936), daughter of Eugène Péreire of the Péreire banking family whose Crédit Mobilier were arch-competitors of the Rothschilds. Noémie Halphen and Maurice de Rothschild had one child, a son Edmond. In June 1940, during the Battle of France, Rothschild and several family members received Portuguese visas from Aristides de Sousa Mendes, allowing them to flee France for Portugal. Maurice de Rothschild sailed from Lisbon to Scotland the following month.〔(Sousa Mendes Foundation - Rothschild )〕 ==References== * ''The Rothschilds; a Family Portrait'' by Frederic Morton.
