So no, apparently Mary did not go on to be the matriarch for a Frankish, Merovingian bloodline of dynastic, Jesus-sired progeny (per 1982's Holy Blood, Holy Grail). But apparently, as you can see on Cult of Weird, that is her skull and skeleton housed in something that looks like a glass helmet and golden golem body with long, golden hair wreathing the head and shoulders, at Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume Basilica, northeast of Marseille.
At least, it's her according to the wax-covered wooden tablet that reads, "Hic requiescit corpus beatae Mariae Magdalenae" ("Here rests the body of Mary Magdalene"). The tablet, dated to around the 1st-4th centuries, was found in 1279 by Charles II, the Count of Provence, under a small chapel in a forest, next to a marble sarcophagus. Charles swore the sarcophagus emitted a scent of perfume when opened, like that used by Mary Magdalene when she anointed Jesus' feet in the Bible.
A nearby piece of papyrus read, "The year of the birth of the Lord 710, the sixth day of December, at night and very secretly, under the reign of the very pious Eudes, king of the Franks, during the time of the ravages of the treacherous nation of the Saracens, the body of the dear and venerable St. Mary Magdalene was, for fear of the said treacherous nation, moved from her alabaster tomb to the marble tomb, after having removed the body of Sidonius, because it was more hidden."
