As has been discussed both here and elsewhere, after the victory of Chanukah, the Hasomeans (Maccabees) decided that they had to take the throne themselves, rather than give it over to someone from the Davidic line.
Do we know of anyone at the time who publicly opposed their decision? (Or was everyone so gobsmacked by the victory, or thought "well desperate times call for desperate measures" ...) Were there any specific Davidic individuals who were considered pretenders to the throne at the time? Did they object?
