Who was Hiram Abiff?
Hiram Abiff is the central figure in the narrative of the Third Degree, presented in traditional lore as a master mason who supervised the craftsmen and held superintendence over the work during the building of King Solomon's Temple, alongside Solomon King of Israel and Hiram King of Tyre (Quatuor Coronati Lodge; the United Grand Lodge of England). According to Masonic legend, he was killed by conspirators when he refused to divulge the secrets of his trade (the United Grand Lodge of England;).

How does the Royal Arch degree complete the Craft legend?
The Masonic legend finds its fulfillment in the Royal Arch, which Dr. W. J. Chetwode Crawley described as the completing part of the narrative rather than a separate entity, observing that without it the cope-stone is removed and the building left visibly incomplete. Originally forming an integrated part of the Third Degree, the Royal Arch expands and concludes the sequence, leaving the work unfinished if its attainment is omitted.

Why Iram habib marry queen sheeba
Gérard de Nerval's account in Voyage en Orient, as recounted in masonic studies on Hiram Abiff , presents a romantic legend in which the Queen of Sheba, Balkis, broke off her engagement with King Solomon and promised to marry Hiram Abiff instead.
