Macbeth
The Real Macbeth
- Shakespeare's Macbeth bears little resemblance to the real 11th century Scottish king.
- In August 1040, he killed the ruling king, Duncan I, in battle near Elgin, Morayshire. Macbeth became king.
- His marriage to Kenneth III's granddaughter Gruoch strengthened his claim to the throne. In 1045, Macbeth defeated and killed Duncan I's father Crinan at Dunkeld.

William Shakespeare
- Beyond the records of his baptism in 1564 and his burial in 1616 there is little documentary evidence for William Shakespeare’s life, although there are many different stories.
- Even the traditional date for his birth, St George’s Day, 23 April, is still uncertain. What evidence there is connects him firmly to Stratford-upon-Avon, where he was born, married, and died.
- Nothing is known of Shakespeare’s early life before his marriage, at the age of 18, in 1582. For five years, when he was in his 20s, there is nothing to tell us where Shakespeare was or what he was doing. He disappears from Stratford records after 1587, and reappears only in 1592 in London.
