The branch back through Poppa goes through the seigneures and comtes of various French provinces, to the famous St William of Gellone (b. 755), in the following documented line:
33. "Poppa" was daughter of :
Cunegundis des Francs (b. 855) and Wido, comte de Senlis
34. Cunegundis des Francs (b. 855) was the daughter of:
Pepin II (b. ca. 815), seigneur de Peronne and N. N. de Vermandois
35. Pepin II (b. ca. 815) was the son of:
Cunigundis of Francs (b. 800) and Bernard, roy d'Italie
36. Cunigundis of Francs (b. 800) was the daughter* of:
37. St. Guilhem de Gellone (b. 755), comte de Toulouse and Kunigunde
des Francs
This St Guilhem de Gellone (William of Orange) was first cousin to Charlemagne. William's father was Makir Theuderic (d. after 793). William's mother was Auda, daughter of Charles Martel.
38./39. Makir Theoderic came from Persia as an exiled Jewish leader and Rabbinical line holder of the House of David; his father was named Habibai (Havivai or Hakhinai). (See article in American Genealogist, No. 72, 1997)
