In Act 2 Scene 3 of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', the two sons of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] found many things suspicious and upsetting about their father's murder. They feared that the same bloodied fate awaited them if they stayed in Scotland. So they decided that they should leave their homeland and find separate places in which to wait out the storm and determine their courses of action. The elder son, the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093], decided to flee to England. The younger son, the future King Donald III [d. 1099], opted for Ireland.

Why do Malcolm and Donalbain decide to flee?
Donalbain and Malcolm were the sons of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. According to the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', they were at Inverness Castle the morning after their father and his two royal guards had been murdered. They were suspicious of Macbeth's confession of having killed the guards for having killed their sovereign. They also feared for their lives. So Donalbain escaped to Ireland. He later returned to Scotland to rule as King Donald III [d. 1099]. Malcolm escaped to England. He later returned to Scotland to rule as King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093].

Both brothers found the circumstances of their father's death suspicious. They felt that remaining in Scotland was hazardous to their lives and to their chances to claim the Scottish crown and throne as their father's heirs.
Who were Donalbain and Malcolm?
According to the historical record and the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Donalbain and Malcolm were the sons of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Donalbain undoubtedly was younger. According to the historical record, he became the subsequent King Donald III [d. 1099]. Also according to the historical record, Malcolm undoubtedly was the elder. He became the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. But unlike the play, the historical record didn't identify Macbeth as King Duncan's killer. Instead, the record showed the King as having been killed by his own men for his unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, and unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands at Moray. Neither did the record identify Malcolm as succeeding Macbeth as King of Scotland. Nor did the historical record show Macduff as killing Macbeth. Instead, it showed Malcolm as coming to power after mortally wounding Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] at the battle of Lumphanan, and killing Macbeth's stepson King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058] near Huntly.

The bloodied corpses and the bloodied crime scene were altered to make it look as though the guards had murdered their sovereign, and in turn had been murdered through Macbeth's righteous fury. But the King's sons, the elder and future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] and the younger and future King Donald III [d. 1099], were suspicious of Macbeth.
