Did you know?
Macbeth is based on a real person who served as King of Scots from 1040 until his death in 1057. Shakespeare’s version of his story, however, is not historically accurate.

King James was said to be a descendant of Banquo. How do you think that would have affected Shakespeare when writing a character he knew would act in front of the King of England and Scotland?
