Summary: This story by Mark Rose is based on the "History of the Three Kings", attributed to John of Hildesheim (fourteenth-century), is the compilation of the events occurred to the Three Kings after their visit to baby Jesus. What followed was the construction of a chapel in worship of the child, and the burial on a gilded shrine of the Kings on the same chapel. Years later the Queen St. Helena, moved the Three Kings remains to Constantinople until Constantine's death. The Emperor Mauricius placed the relics in a Church at Milan. As a reward from war, Frederick I gave the Archbishop of Cologne the "Wise Men" relics in 1164, where they remain today.
