Yes. Isabella of Aragon, 1470-1524 was married to Gian Galeazzo II Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan, and bore him three children: Francesco Il Duchetto, Bona Maria Sforza, and Ippolita, who died at age 7. Isabella became a widow within the 5th years of her very unhappy marriage.

Historian and author, Maike Vogt-Luerssen, disputes that Isabella of Aragon is the true "Mona Lisa" based on the design of the embroideries in the bodice of her garments, that represents the royal symbols of the Sforza-Visconti dynasty of Italy.

She asserts that Isabella of Aragon and her court painter, Leonardo DaVinci, had a clandestine marriage in 1497 due to their difference in social status. From that union were born five children: Francesco (Da Melzo), Giovanna of Aragon, Antonio of Aragon, Maria of Aragon, and Isabella the Younger. Though history does not officially record these five children as the children of Isabella ofi Aragon, two of them are entombed next to Isabella's coffin at the San Domenico Maggiorie Basilica. History records all five children to be of noble birth from varying sets of noble parents (sometimes more than one set!) or, as in the case of Francesco Da Melzo (Count Francesco Da Melzo) to obscure origins.

Mrs. Vogt-Luerssen also asserts that the artists within the DaVinci circle of painters left proof of their secret union by painting the faces of Leonardo and Isabella frequently together in their paintings.

Although Mrs. Vogt-Luerssen's theories have been published internationally since 2003, there is yet to be a world known DaVinci expert or scholar willing to publically aprove or disprove her research.
