Nathan Mayer Rothschild, 1st Baron Rothschild of Tring, Baron de Rothschild,GCVO PC (8 November 1840 – 31 March 1915), was a British banker and politician from the wealthy international Rothschild family.
Known as "Natty," he was the eldest son of Baron Lionel de Rothschild (1808–1879) and Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild (née von Rothschild), the grandson of Nathan Mayer Rothschild after whom he was named and the great-grandson of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the dynasty.
He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a friend of the Prince of Wales, but left without taking a degree.
On 16 April 1867, he married Emma Louise von Rothschild (1844–1935), a cousin from the Rothschild banking family of Germany in Frankfurt. They had three children:
In 1847, his uncle Anthony Nathan de Rothschild (1810–1876) was created 1st Baronet de Rothschild, of Tring Park. Since Sir Anthony had no male heirs, the baronetcy passed on his death to his nephew Nathan Mayer Rothschild. In 1885, Rothschild became a member of the House of Lords when he was created Baron Rothschild, of Tring in the County of Hertford, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. He also was Baron de Rothschild (Freiherr von Rothschild) in the Austrian Empire, a noble title he had inherited via his father. In 1838, Queen Victoria had authorized the use of this Austrian title in the United Kingdom.
