Web Notes notes for Thierry Count Of Autun
ES III:731. Stuart's "Royalty For Commoners" (326:39).
On 15 Dec 1997, Todd Farmerie posted the ancestry of TERESA ALFONSO based on the latest research. This generation is confirmed in that posting. Farmerie says he flourished 771-791.
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 approximately 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.
