Best Answer

Shakespeare's favourite source was Holinshed's histories of Britain, a huge and daunting work. This was Shakespeare's main source for all of his history plays, the plays set in ancient Britain, and for Macbeth, since Holinshed also covers Scottish history.

Another favourite source was Plutarch's Lives of the Greeks and Romans, which Shakespeare used as a source for his Roman plays.
