well, the page in wikipedia is very exhaustive
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playing_cards
the following is copied and pasted straight from the article:
"The United States Playing Card Company suggests that in the past, the King of Hearts was Charlemagne, the King of Diamonds was Julius Caesar, the King of Clubs was Alexander the Great, and the King of Spades was the Biblical King David. "

I'm not sure , but there are the 4 kings who came following a star to see Jesus born , and there are 4 kings on horses at the end of time (4 horse riders) one is red and one is green and the other 2 I think black and white .
Tell if I'm not right to think more .
