My Ancestries to ha-David Including Makhir of Narbonne (Thierry IV / Theodoric IV and Alda) to Wenceslaus I of Bohemia

 Phase 1: The Biblical & Babylonian Exilarch Line

  • King David (King of Israel and Judah)

  • King Solomon

  • ↳ (Through the Kings of Judah down to the Babylonian Exile)

  • Jeconiah / Jehoiachin (Last reigning King of Judah, taken to Babylon)

  • Pedaiah

  • Zerubbabel (Governor of Judea, c. 520 BCE)

  • Bostanai (c. 618–670), Exilarch of Babylon

  • Haninai Bar Adai (Exilarch)

  • Shahrijar (or Solomon)

  • Natronai ben Habibai (Exilarch) — In legend, he is forced out of Babylon and travels to the West.

  • Makhir of Narbonne (Theodoric I, Count of Toulouse)The Core Mythological Bridge. Speculative theories claim Makhir was a Babylonian Exilarch given land by Pepin the Short or Charlemagne. Myth-makers conflate him with the Frankish nobleman Theodoric, creating a hybrid Jewish-Frankish royal line.

Phase 2: The House of Toulouse to the Kings of Castile (France to Spain)

Once the lineage is attached to the Counts of Toulouse, it follows standard, historically documented European lines—though the starting point remains fabricated.

  • Theodoric I (Makhir) and Alda of France (daughter of Charles Martel)

  • William of Gellone (Saint William of Toulouse)

  • Bernard of Septimania

  • Bernard Plantapilosa

  • William I, Duke of Aquitaine

  • ↳ (Through several generations of Dukes of Aquitaine and Counts of Auvergne)

  • Alfonso VI of Castile and León — The lineage enters the mainstream Spanish royal houses via intermarriage with Aquitaine nobility.

Phase 3: Castile to the House of Luxembourg (Spain to Germany/Bohemia)

From the Spanish kingdoms, the lineage weaves through the French Capetian kings, eventually reaching the House of Luxembourg, which produced the Holy Roman Emperors of the 14th century.

  • Alfonso VI of Castile

  • Urraca, Queen of Castile and León

  • Alfonso VII of Castile

  • Infanta Constance of Castile (married Louis VII of France)

  • Philip II Augustus, King of France

  • Louis VIII, King of France

  • Robert I, Count of Artois

  • Blanche of Artois

  • Margaret of Artois

  • Joan I, Countess of Auvergne

  • John, King of Bohemia and Count of Luxembourg (married Elizabeth of Bohemia)

  • Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor

  • Wenceslaus, Holy Roman Emperor (Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, 1361–1419)

Generation 1 to 14: The Unbroken Male Chain

  1. Theodoric I (Makhir) & Alda of France (Daughter of Charles Martel)

  2. Theodoen (Teudoin) (Count of Autun, d. after 826) — Son

  3. Thierry II (Count of Autun) — Son

  4. Radulf (Count of Tortona) — Son

  5. Robert the Strong (c. 830–866, Margrave of Neustria) — Son

  6. Robert I of France (866–923, King of the Franks) — Son

  7. Hugh the Great (898–956, Duke of the Franks) — Son

  8. Hugh Capet (c. 941–996, King of France) — Son

  9. Robert II "the Pious" (972–1031, King of France) — Son

  10. Henry I of France (1008–1060, King of France) — Son

  11. Philip I of France (1052–1108, King of France) — Son

  12. Louis VI of France (1081–1137, King of France) — Son

  13. Louis VII of France (1120–1180, King of France) — Son [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The Female Bridge to the German Royal House

  1. Alice of France (1151–1197) — Daughter. Alice breaks the male line here. She was the daughter of Louis VII and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. She married into the German nobility, connecting the French Capetian Y-DNA line to the House of Hohenstaufen.

The Final Stretch to Wenceslaus I

  1. Philip of Swabia (1177–1208, King of Germany) — Son of Alice of France. He married Irene Angelina, a Byzantine princess.

  2. Kunigunde of Hohenstaufen (1202–1248) — Daughter. She married King Přemysl Otakar I of Bohemia.

  3. Wenceslaus I of Bohemia (1205–1253) — Son of Kunigunde

Path 3: The Anglo-Norman Pipeline (Via the Plantagenets)

Instead of staying exclusively with the French kings, this legendary route branches off into the Plantagenet Kings of England before jumping to Germany and Bohemia. This pathway alters the middle section of the lineage to include early English history.

  • Generations 1–11: Same as the very first lineage (Theodoric → Dukes of Aquitaine down to William X).

  • Generation 12: Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122–1204) — Daughter. She breaks the male line here and marries King Henry II of England. [1]

  • Generation 13: Eleanor of England (1161–1214) — Daughter. She marries King Alfonso VIII of Castile. [1]

  • Generation 14: Berengaria of Castile (1179–1246) — Daughter. Queen of Castile, who marries Alfonso IX of León. [1]

  • Generation 15: Berengaria of León (1198–1237) — Daughter. She marries John of Brienne (Emperor of Constantinople). [1]

  • Generation 16: Mary of Brienne (1224–1275) — Daughter. She marries Emperor Baldwin II.

    • From here, the line jumps into the German House of Hohenstaufen and eventually weaves back into the Přemyslid house to reach Wenceslaus I.

Path 4: The Capetian-Castilian Alternative (Fewer Female Transitions)

In the previous French king line, we used Alice of France as a bridge. A slightly different route stays in the male Capetian line for one more generation, shifting the family tree through the Kings of Castile (Spain) instead of Germany.

  • Generations 1–13: Same as the all-male Capetian line (Theodoric down to King Louis VII of France).

  • Generation 14: Philip II Augustus (1165–1223, King of France) — Son. (Keeps the line male longer than Alice did).

  • Generation 15: Louis VIII "the Lion" (1187–1226, King of France) — Son.

  • Generation 16: Blanche of Castile (1188–1252) — Daughter. (Though born a Spanish princess, she breaks the line here by linking the French and Spanish crowns via her marriage).

  • Generation 17: Infanta Berengaria of Castile

  • Generation 18: Kunigunde of Hohenstaufen

  • Generation 19: Wenceslaus I of Bohemia [1]

Path 5: The "Pure" Byzantine Path (The Most Esoteric)

Some alternative genealogists prefer a highly exotic route. It claims that the Davidic/Exilarch bloodline traveled from Southern France into the Byzantine Empire (Constantinople) through the Crusades before coming up into Central Europe.

  • Generations 1–10: Same as the Capetian line down to King Henry I of France.

  • Generation 11: Hugh I, Count of Vermandois (1057–1101) — Son of Henry I. He was a leader of the First Crusade.

  • Generation 12: Elizabeth of Vermandois (1085–1131) — Daughter.

  • Generation 13: Through the Anglo-Norman and French crusader noble houses (such as the House of Courtenay), the line marries into the Angelos Dynasty of Byzantine Emperors.

  • Generation 14: Irene Angelina (1181–1208) — Daughter of Byzantine Emperor Isaac II Angelos. She married Philip of Swabia.

  • Generation 15: Kunigunde of Hohenstaufen

  • Generation 16: Wenceslaus I of Bohemia [1, 2]
