She became the patron saint of France, though (in 1920, IIRC?); what was apparently being insinuated in HBHG was that she had some kind of, er, romantic attachment with Rene d'Anjou who (at the age of ten) had allegedly become a Grand Master of the (supposed) Priory of Sion. The other suggestion (if you look back at the quote in my previous post) was that she was being manoeuvred in some way. The reader is therefore presumably meant to conclude that none other than the Priory of Sion was responsible for the triumphs of France's patron saint. Needless to say, there is absolutely no credible evidence for any of these suggestions.
