That is the Rosicrucian view of history. Part of the theory is that the Kings of France, Merovingians I believe, were directly descended from Jesus, leading to later attempts to restore them to the throne.

The "cult of Mary Magdalene"----she came to France after the death of Jesus, bearing his child. According to their legend, Jesus had married Mary, but the misogynist Paul twisted the teachings of Jesus around and called her a whore. She left after the crucifixion; believing her life (and unborn child) in danger, she took a ship which landed on the coast of France. (Interesting story; were it true, he would be my ancestor.)
