When historical researchers arrive at the enigmatic figure known as Makhir of Narbonne they quickly realize that the murky identity and history of "Makhir", has for one reason or another, been finagled and glossed over. More than likely on purpose. The reason for the smoke and mirrors surrounding Makhir of Narbonne will become clear once his real identity is understood.
"Makhir" was a Davidic scholar, officially petitioned from the Caliph of Bagdad by one of the early Carolingian kings. Which king is not certain. It could have been Charlemagne, his father Pepin the Short, or Charles Martel, the grandfather of Charlemagne.
The history behind the immigration of a Davidic prince from Bagdad to southwestern France has fascinated historians for centuries, particularly those interested in the Holy Grail mystery.

"Sang Real" or Royal Blood has been interpreted by Grail historians to point to the Davidic bloodline that was introduced into Europe. Some historians suggest that the Davidic origin of this Royal Blood originates in Jesus through a bloodline that has been kept secret since the 1st century. Other historians have traced the Royal bloodline to the person of Makhir of Narbonne. Those that have arrived at the Makhir bloodline have been thwarted from understanding further because the identity of Makhir of Narbonne has been glossed-over by those interested in preventing continued investigation into that Davidic bloodline.
Luckily, the mystery surrounding the identity of the "Makhir of Narbonne" may not be impenetrable.

In 767, the Exilarch, Isaac, died without an heir leaving a vacancy for the seat of Exilarch which was a leadership position, passed father to son in the Davidic line of King Hezekiah, the King taken into Babylonian exile after the destruction of the first temple of Jerusalem.
Filling Isaac's vacancy, the Caliph and the gaonim, the religious leaders of the "Jewish" community considered two of Isaac's nephews from among his next of kin.
According to Abraham ibn Daud, it was the less qualified nephew that was chosen over his older, more qualified brother.
The elder brother, Anan ben David, became incensed at the decision and, in defiance, declared himself exilarch. The Caliph threw him into prison for insubordination and sentenced him to death.
According to the story, while in prison, Anan ben David, is given advice from another inmate to gain his freedom. The advice was to form a sect with views contrary to the mainstream religious movements and petition for poltical/religious asylum status.
The advice worked.
Anan formed a sect combining the ideas of other heretical sects of the time and presented his ideas during his trial which was attended by the Caliph himself.
Anan's life was spared and his freedom gained.
There is little information about the sect that Anan formed but it is known that it is somewhat related to Karaitism.
It has been claimed that Anan was the founder of Karaitism but Karaites deny this offering proof that Karaitism existed in Egypt prior to Anan's imprisonment.
Nevertheless, a new sect was born in Bagdad around 768 AD. It was called Ananism and it has also been suggested that it is linked to the 1st century sect known as the Sadduecees which did not recognize the legitimacy of the Oral tradition of the Pharisees.
Like Makhir, Anan's history is murky.
I suggest that Makhir of Narbonne, the mysterious 8th century Davidic patriarch of the Illuminati is none other than Anan ben David, the Karaite-like Davidic prince passed over for the Babylonian exilarch?
The result of the Google inquiry, "Anan", yields the Anan Wiki which offerers several sub-catagories of "Anan."

and Places.
Curiously, there is a small town called Anan in southwestern France in the area of Narbonne.
