 Abt 751 - 812 (61 years)
Generation: 1
| 1. |  Guillaume (William) d'Autun was born about 751 in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrenees, France; died on 28 May 812 in Aniane, Hérault, Languedoc-Roussillon, France; was buried in Aniane, Hérault, Languedoc-Roussillon, France. Notes:
Some histories shown him as Judiarch of Narbonne and Exilarch of Baghdad, and secretly a prince of the house of David. This theory derives from Arthur Zuckerman's book, "A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 768-900" (New York, 1972), the thesis of which is not accepted by all historians. Regardless, William was a very impressive individual about whom the largest body of heroic poetry in medieval France, the "Saint William cycle" of chansons de geste, developed in the centuries following his death. According to Pierre Béstournas d`Haucourt in "Heraldique ett Genealogie, 1981, p.363: Guilhem, Margrave of Toulouse, later monk at Gellone, canonized as St. William of the Desert (St. Guilhem du Désert),, * ca. 752, +8112. The remains of the monastery where he resided and which was named after him (Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert) were transported to Neww York and re-built in the Cloisters complex of the Metropolitan Museum of Art earlier the 20th century. Additionally, David H. Kelley identifies him as the exilarch Natronai, both are questionable, especially in view of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and it's genealogical records in 70 CE. Although it should be noted that Charlemagne did bring back a Jewish official to Germany and this is supposed to be the father of Guillaume.
Randy Jones identifies his father as Thierry or Theuderic d'Autun and his mother as Alda de Francia. There is no supporting evidence for this, so I am going with the limited data as above and that of the Endfield-Bryant Genealogy. JCT 12/23/2000
