Who claimed to be the first Jewish messiah?

The first claimant with which I am familiar is Zerubbabel who came with Ezra and Nehemiah to Ancient Israel from Babylon in roughly 530 B.C.E.. The three leaders tried to rebuild Ancient Israel as a satrap of the Persian Empire with the blessings of King Cyrus the Great. While Ezra was a High Priest and Nehemiah was a Prophet, Zerubbabel was the grandson of Jeconiah, one of the last kings of Judah and a descendant of King David. He was ultimately disproved as the Messiah when he died a normal death.
