is macbeth a true story?

Answer 1

Not a true story - but the characters and some of the events are based on reality.

Mac Bethad mac Findláich, known in English as Macbeth, was born in around 1005. His father was Finlay, Mormaer of Moray, and his mother may have been Donada, second daughter of Malcolm II. A Mormaer was literally a high steward of one of the ancient Celtic provinces of Scotland, but in Latin documents the word is usually translated as 'Comes', which means earl.

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.

For 14 years Macbeth seems to have ruled equably, imposing law and order and encouraging Christianity. In 1050 he is known to have travelled to Rome for a papal jubilee. He was also a brave leader and made successful forays over the border into Northumbria, England.

In 1054, Macbeth was challenged by Siward, Earl of Northumbria, who was attempting to return Duncan's son Malcolm Canmore, who was his nephew, to the throne. In August 1057, Macbeth was killed at the Battle of Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire by Malcolm Canmore (later Malcolm III).

Answer 2

I've seen many Dems denouncing what this MacBeth did. He does deserve any negative comments or press he receives. However, the comments Rush made were NOT made exclusive to MacBeth. Rush called the soldiers who were against the Iraq War, i.e. against the views of Rush, as phony soldiers. He even went beyond that in condemning several Dems who have actual combat experience as phony or resume padding soldiers. And this coming from a man who avoided the draft and refused to honor his own military service. According to Rush the military does not want intelligent, thinking men and women to serve in the military, they only want brain dead robots who will never question anything.

Answer 3

No, Macbeth is not a true story. It is a fictional play written by the master of literature Shakespeare & is one of his most widely known works.

Answer 4

I had always heard the charectors were based on the family MacDuff that Shakespear was staying with while he was writing the story. I don't know if this was true or not, but I had heard it several times. AS to the story being a true one, I doubt it.
