The Larger Picture: The Intertwining of Seemingly Unre-lated Threads Back to Abraham

When investigating ancient lineages and some lineages from the early MiddleAges, genealogists sometimes come across a line that someone has traced back toAbraham. All such lines are somewhat conjectural, and are based on various genealo-gies that have been taken from Biblical material or other ancient texts. While there are anumber of “experts” who claim that these lines are purely mythical (and thereforeunsatisfactory), I think we’ll find at some point that the lines are more accurate thanpreviously thought.

What is surprising is the number of different threads that exist from Abraham intoWestern Europe and the different paths they take. Several different threads are inter-twined in the Merovingian families of Francia. Two pass from Egypt through Irelandinto either Wales or Scotland. A third line comes directly from the Exilarchs (the leadersof the Jewish community in exile after the Diaspora) in Babylon. This thread goes di-rectly into what is now southern France, where descendants married into the noblefamilies of the region. In addition, I’ve shown lines (with two variants) from Abraham’sIslamic descendants that passes through Spain and into the nobility there and thenceinto the nobility of Europe.

For the sake of (relative) brevity I have only listed a few lineages down to rela-tively) recognizable historic figures. Many combinations and permutations are possible.Some of the material presented here is based on Roderick Stuart’s book Royalty forCommoners. I have, however, treated that information with care and looked elsewhere toconfirm information. Some information came from the family records of Nicholas deVere. I am deeply grateful to Jamie Allen (identified on the Web as JamesDow) for thework he has done to make much of the information that I have adapted here easilyavailable. As he says, this material is not authoritative; use it to delve further. I also wishto thank Paul McBride, whose remarkable web site has such excellent documentation.

A Sicambrian-Franks Descent from Abraham to Clovis I

The Sicambrian Franks are now thought to have found their way into the area thatis now northern France and lower Germany from farther east. The mention of Arcadiain their history of growth and development gives us a hint of a Greek connection. Ac-cording to Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and HenryLincoln, in The Holy Blood and TheHoly Grail, there is considerable thought that the Sicambrians are a remnant of theBenjamites, the Tribe of Benjamin, one of the lost tribes of Israel. Considering that theBenjamites continued to worship The Goddess Ashera along with yhe God of Israel andthat there remain survivals of this tradition in what is now southern France, it’s cer-tainly worth consideration.

A Visigothic Connection from Abraham to Pepin of Heristal

The Visigoths, viewed from the pages of our schoolbooks, appeared to have beenuneducated boors and nasty barbarians who overran a weakened Roman Empire fromtime to time. Actually they sacked Rome at one point and carried off a good deal oftreasure, possibly including some from the Second Temple in Jerusalem that the Ro-mans had only acquired a few years before. If you took this as literal truth, think of thesource: Roman historians. This is a point of view. As more recent research has pointed outamply, the Visigoths were a highly developed culture. They adopted a variant of Chris-tianity known as the Arian “heresy,” (heresy being a pejorative term applied by theRoman Church). This belief did not accept Jesus as divine but instead revered him as aremarkable human. It was at the point when the Roman Church succeeded in convert-ing the Visigothic rulers in Spain to Roman Catholic Christianity that the first sting ofwhat later became The Inquisition was felt in Spain and in the Spanish Marches andLanguedoc.

The Desposyni

The term Desposyni is applied to purported descendants of Jesus and his sur-rounding family, all of whom were of the House of David. Clearly this is an explosiveclaim in certain circles because it directly threatens the Roman Church’s claim of rulethrough an Apostolic Succession rather than through inheritance via the House ofDavid. Furthernore it indicates that there were heirs to Jesus’ claim to be the King of theJews, a claim that has been supported by a number of more-adventursome scholarsrecently. And the concept that Jesus had a wife/consort and children gives a very differ-ent picture, one of a human and one who could well be spiritually a son of God butcertainly not physically.

The Desposyni and Descendants of Abraham Line 2

Historians differ on whether this line is valid or not. It depends on whether onethinks that Joseph of Arimathea was really the second son of Joseph and Mary and thuscarried the title for the second son in the House of David “ha-Rama-theo.” In any case,there is reasonable conjecture that Joseph ha-Rama-theo was a wealthy tin merchantwho would have visited tin mines in Wales. People in this group traveled more exten-sively than was once believed.

Lines from Abraham and David through Makhir/Theodoric of Toulouse

This line was not widely known until the Web gave it visibility. It is the result of someexcellent research done by Arthur J. Zuckerman and published in the book A JewishPrincedom in Feudal France 768-900, New York: Columbia University Press, 1972.Many permutations of lines from Makhir run through all of the European royalfamilies and early American colonists, especially those in New England. Anyonewho is descended from the early Plantagenets has them.

There are two possible explanations for the ancestry of Makhir. I give Zuckerman’s first,which indicates that Makhir came either directly from Babylonia or was the son of aman who came to Spain from Babylonia. The second is that Makhir was actually ofMerovingian heritage. It is possible that were Merovingians who were practicingJews in Septimania. Septimania had a large Jewish population, much of which wasdescended from people who had settled there before the Diaspora. Where did theygo? When the Roman Church began to persecute Jews in France in the early days ofthe Inquisition, some Jews moved to Italy and others to Spain until they were ulti-mately driven out of Spain. A great many Jews were slaughtered right along witheveryone else in the Albigensian Crusade. The crusaders killed everyone, saying“God will know his own.” Some people became Crypto-Jews, that is, they outwardlyconverted to Christianity but privately maintained their Jewish faith and practices.Others left France and moved into what is now Germany and became a part of theAshkenazic community there.
