Вы неправильно поняли. Ротшильд это банкир, а не порода собак.

>... Джеймсе нашем Первом, когда титул получал любой, кто отжалел за это тысячу фунтов.

Не любой, а "gentlemen of good birth". А это были представители "gentry", типичных землевладельцев.

"Present-day baronets date from 1611 when James I granted letters patent to 200 gentlemen of good birth with an income of at least £1,000 a year; in return for the honour, each was required to pay for the upkeep of thirty soldiers for three years amounting to £1,095, in those days a very large sum."


"In the United Kingdom, the term gentry refers to the landed gentry, the majority of the land-owning social class who were typically armigerous (having a coat of arms), but did not have titles of nobility."
