They changed their name to the King's Men when they got a new patron, King James I in 1603 after Queen Elizabeth died. In Shakespeare's time, theatrical companies needed the patronage and protection of an important person. They would become the servants of the important person, and were therefore called his (or her) "men". Shakespeare's company formed under the patronage of the Lord Chamberlain, Henry Carey and were therefore called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. When King James I became king, he took over patronage of the company, which then became The King's Men. Shakespeare did not change the name of his theatre company; the name came from the important nobleman or member of the royal family that sponsored the company. If that person changed, the name changed.
Macbeth is the only play by Shakespeare with a Scottish king in it.
William Shakespeare did not change his name. His acting company did, however, change its name. His Theatre Company was originally called "The Lord Chamberlain's Men" after the Lord Chamberlain, an official responsible for theatres and other public entertainment. After the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 the company was granted a charter by the new King, James I, and the company changed its name to The King's Men.
The acting company that Shakespeare was with for most of his working life changed its name to the king's men in 1603 when King James succeeded to the throne and took over sponsorship of the company.
None. Shakespeare's company was honoured to have the King as a Patron, and when they performed at court they performed Shakespeare's plays, but the king did not single out Shakespeare for any special honour.
