I still yet to read that Ferdinand and Isabella article, so not sure when will have the time. But I see this in that article:
>Septimania had a large Jewish population
At the time the largest Jewish populations were in the East Mediterranean cities, their number were in the lower thousands per city. In the West that was the tenth of it. I get these numbers from The New Cambridge Medieval History, Volume 4 So how many of them could have been in the whole Septimania? 2000? Tho I do agree that their economical weight and political influence were larger than the number would indicate (as usual).
>descendant of King David
These descendants are no more than a legends. To be honest David himself isn't much more - even if he really were his person and glory was highly inflated.
But again I'm not close to read the article and think on it.
I like the theory that the Hungarians are the lost tribe of Israel better.
