In Act 1 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play, the reign of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was being challenged by invading Norwegians and rebellious Scotsmen. Friends and fellow Generals Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and Banquo threw themselves into the midst of the bloodied fray despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Banquo received no reward other than a 'thank you' from his sovereign. Macbeth received the title and possessions of the disgraced, traitorous Thane of Cawdor.
