According to the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] envied King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. In the play, the King appeared to be an older, much beloved and respected sovereign. Even Macbeth's Lady [b. c. 1015] said that she couldn't kill the King on her own because in sleep he reminded her of her father.
