Best Answer
The Prieuré de Sion, translated from French as Priory of Sion, is the name of multiple groups, both real and fictitious. One is a fringe fraternal organization, founded and dissolved in France in 1956 by Pierre Plantard. In the 1960s, Plantard created a fictitious history of the organization, describing it as a secret society founded in the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1099, which preserves the bloodlines of the Merovingian dynasty. This myth was expanded upon and popularized by the controversial 1982 book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, and later claimed as factual in the preface of the 2003 conspiracy fiction novel The Da Vinci Code. <><><
