Nobody. There is no evidence of any kind that King James requested that Shakespeare write such a play. What is more, there is no evidence that the play was performed before the king. Although we have records of many of Shakespeare's plays performed before King James by the King's Men, some more than once, there is no record that Macbeth was ever played at court. The only recorded performance took place at the Globe Theatre. It would appear that the play was not a popular one, because it was not published in Shakespeare's lifetime, and was considerably revised by another playwright in the hope of being more pleasing to the audience.

Shakespeare got his plot for Macbeth from Holinshed's Chronicles, which is a history book, not a play. Parts of The Witch by Thomas Middleton were lifted from that rather unsuccessful play and plopped down into the middle of Macbeth, but it is suspected that this was not done by Shakespeare but by some later editor.
