Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) murders the most people in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).

Specifically, the play begins with the introduction of Macbeth as one of two generals responsible for the successful defense of King Duncan (d. August 14, 1040) against the combined forces of rebellious Scotsmen and invading Norwegians. So killing is something that Macbeth is paid to do. Additionally, he kills his king, two (2) guards and his best friend and colleague Banquo in order to become king. That is just the beginning to a seventeen (17) year reign during which his detractors say that all Scotland bleeds.
