Answer 3

Flavia Iulia Helena Augusta, also known as Saint Helena, Saint Helen, Helena Augusta or Helena of Constantinople (ca. 250 – ca. 330) was consort of (though may have been married to) Constantius Chlorus, and the mother of Emperor Constantine I. She is traditionally credited with finding the relics of the True Cross and the Shrine of the Three Kings at Cologne Cathedral. According to tradition, the Shrine of the Three Kings contains the bones of the Three Wise Men. Reputedly they were first discovered by Saint Helena on her famous pilgrimage to Palestine and the Holy Lands. She took the remains to the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople.

Answer 4

Nothing.   She was the mother of Constantine and became a Christian before him   She is reputed to have found the true cross an was apparently a jolly nice lady.   She came 400 years after the Three Wise Men/Kings/Magi.
