Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] appeared to be held in high regard by King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Macbeth killed the King and his two royal guards in Act 2 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play. So the King's only appearances were in Act 1. In that first act, the King made half a dozen overtly flattering comments on Macbeth's character. For example, he touted kinship with his 'peerless' [Scene 5], 'valiant' [Scene 2] and 'worthiest' [Scene 4] cousin. He respected Macbeth's socioeconomic status and achievements as a 'worthy gentleman' [Scene 2]. He praised Macbeth's 'noble' [Scene 3] commitment on the battlefield to king and country. In essence, he considered Macbeth the kingdom's most valuable player, whose worth was 'more than all can pay' [Scene 4]. And he claimed to 'love him highly' [Scene 7].
