That's pretty cool, Bianca, were you born in Italy or the U.S.?

There are different schools of thought on the Mona Lisa.  As you said, she was an actual person, but scholars seem to think that the Mona Lisa was actually a feminine portrait of Da Vinci himself.  We know he was very protective of it, up until he died, and that he owned it during his lifetime,

As for the Merovingian bloodline, it has been my understanding that most of the older Meronvingian kings have already crumbled into dust, and that this queen was the oldest that they could find - though finding her didn't seem to do a lot of good!
