This article by Miles Mathis argues that the filmmaker Woody Allen, born Alan Stewart Konigsberg, has hidden, aristocratic Jewish ancestry, contrary to his publicly presented middle-class origins. Mathis connects Allen to the Teutonic Knights through his surname Konigsberg, a city founded by the Knights. Mathis asserts that the Teutonic Knights and Knights Templar were Jewish organizations created to protect trade routes, with their Christian guise being a cover. He traces their lineage back to families like the Komnenes from Armenia, suggesting that European royalty, popes, and emperors were all part of these interconnected Jewish families.

Mathis then explores Allen’s maternal line, the Cherrys, and their connections to the British peerage. He finds numerous links to aristocratic families, including Stewarts, Howards, Villiers, and Barclays, suggesting Allen is related to many famous people in Hollywood and the aristocracy, including Heather Graham, Warren Beatty, and J. K. Rowling’s publisher. An addendum notes that Mia Farrow, who is a Villiers, would also be a cousin to Woody Allen. Further digging into Allen’s paternal grandmother, a Copplin from Kaliningrad (formerly Konigsberg), strengthens the link to the Knights. Mathis also speculates about the name Copplin being a variation of Coppin, finding connections to Viscount George Lambart and the Jewish name Gould.

Mathis also briefly touches upon Allen’s personal life, noting his adopted children and the speculation about his son Ronan Farrow’s paternity, linking it to themes in Allen’s film Hannah and Her Sisters. He critiques Allen’s later films, particularly Match Point, finding them cliché and shallow, and speculates that Allen’s fascination with them stems from a yearning for his aristocratic ancestors. The article concludes by reiterating the thesis that the Teutonic Knights were a front for Jewish merchants and that Woody Allen’s ancestry is far more complex and interconnected than commonly believed.
