During the time when Shakespeare was writing plays, Queen Elizabeth I was the ruling monarch of England. She reigned from 1558 to 1603. After her death, King James I took over as the monarch, and Shakespeare continued to write plays during his reign as well.

Macbeth appears to have some direct allusions to the Gunpowder Plot, a plot to blow up King James I of England, who was the king when the play was written.
