If you are going by The Bible, there were some wise men, who may have been kings, and the gifts they brought included gold, frankenscence, and myrrh. There could have been three men, there could have been four, five, or twenty. In popular story, they have been pictured as three men, one bringing each of the types of gifts.

The 20th-Century Opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors" portrays three, and gives them names.
