Stone of Destiny

(1985)
A novel by

 
 
Lady Macbeth was a real person, married and with a son before she married Macbeth, who ruled well for 17 years in Scotland. Shakespeare's account of the murder of Duncan is good drama but not very good history. Duncan was killed in a battle against his cousins, Macbeth and Thorfinn. Lady Macbeth was the granddaughter of King Kenneth III and her son had a claim to the throne. Shakespeare probably adjusted history to please King James, son of Mary Queen of Scots.
