In the Shakespeare play, Macbeth is succeeded by Malcolm, son of Duncan. Macduff says to him, "Hail, king, for so thou art." The historical reality was somewhat different. The historical Macbeth was succeeded after a long and mostly peaceful reign of 17 years, by his stepson Lulach (that's Lady Macbeth's son) who was unfortunately not so successful.
