Yes there was, but their portrayal in the novel "The Da Vinci Code" is not entrirely accurate. This is part of the reason why the novel is so controversial, as people are taking the novel as being 100% accurate. It's more along the lines of historical fiction. But to answer your question, YES, there really was a Priory of Scion.

Answer 2
Perhaps there was, but it is now beleived that the alleged Priory of Sion was a hoax, perpetrated by one Pierre Plantard of France, who claimed to be its current leader in the 1960's. Check out the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Henry Lincoln, Micheal Baigent. It explains how they uncovered the hoax...
