I remember a legend/fact that Dagobert or Clovis were decendants of Maria Magdalena. Anyone know the details?

There is an intersting book on that called "Holy Blood/Holy Grail." It is a lot of supposition and theorizing, but there is some interesting history in the book and their thesis is plausible.
I think it worth the read.
