Notes

Note 1

Theuderic IV (Thierry), known to the Moors as Makir Theodoric, governor of Neustria and Burgundy. Ousted from power by Charles Martel in 737; Lord of Septimania, d 741

Note 2

It has been proposed by some that he was the same person as Makir, the Judiarch of Narbonne. If true, he has a Jewish pedigree going back approx 50 generations to King David of Israel. While a case can be made, it has been rendered a very weak one by Nat Taylor's research.

Nat Taylor's excellent article "Saint William, King David, and Makhir" in the July/October 1997 issue of 'The American Genealogist' makes it appear quite unlikely that Theuderic, father of St. William of Gellone, is identical to Makhir.

Further discussion on Medival-L with Nat Turner and others indicate that this man does not have any "proven" descendents or ancestors. He may have been invented at one time or another.

Note 3

I personally feel that any attempt to discredit the existence of Makhir Theodoric may be racist in its conception. At Theodoric's time Exilarchs were among the imperial aristocracy and held in equal regard to other aristocrats.
