M. Plantard, the man behind the artefacts fed to Lincoln et al to creat the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", which in turn was used by Dan Browne to create the book "Da VInci Code" is pure fabrication. It is a lovely idea, fully of mystery and intrigue, but wholly without merit. The singular reason for the failure of the idea rests in four false facts: (1) There is no credible record or mythology suggesting Sara ever survived in France. Therefore no bloodline continued through the youngest child of Jesus and Mary, therefore nothing to protect, therefore a complete fabrication. (2) The list of Grand Masters of the Priory was a little to ambitious with dates and membership being impossible for some of the great names. (3) The story rests on all the bloodlines eventually dying off leaving only very few having the claimed "holy grail" bloodline. (4) Amazingly, the same person (M. Plantard (Saint Claire)) that created the story was supposed to be the true heir of the bloodline of Jesus and Mary- what a coincidence! There are however many thousands of people who can claim heritage of the holy grail, not through France but Ireland. That is another story...

Answer 4
Yes, there was a Prieure de Sion officially registered in France sometime in the 1950's. ( I think 1956 but I'm not entirely sure) The Prieure released many documents regarding their protocols and the various "offices" held by people. Yes, Da Vinci was a Grand Master.

Answer 6
Yes it does and it is really recorded on history. I think the guy's name is Piere (somthing I forgot) however its purpose is just for publicity as he "thinks" that came from a long line of kings" he even created a chart which might took him months to create just to "prove" that. But it I think he just did it coz he wants to be known in public..... Yes it existed but its reasons are something that are selfish

Answer 8
No. It was a live role play group in France. Some members of the group pretended in public to be an ancient group and forged documents, but several principal member told on the them that it was all a forgery. It was investigated and indeed it is nothing more than a contemporary group endulging themselves with some roleplay. To bad some gullible person used it as a basis for a best selling book otherwise it would have simply remained an obscure little group playing their game. I guess the author could not come up with an original idea by himself.
