Btw, since King Richard Lionheart was a decendant of Vikings wouldn't that make him a barbarian?

As for the ethnic root of Khazar.They are accepted by the scholarly milieu to be of Turkic origin.Whether european Jews are descended from Khazars are still debateful..The pioneering author advocating the notion that European Jews are really of Turkic origin is Aurthor Koestler,himself a jewish..look at the book titled Thirtheen Tribe by Aurthor Koestler^in regard to this topic
