How old was Lady Macbeth in the play Macbeth?

Answer 1

The play's precise age is unknown. Exactly when William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] wrote the play 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' wasn't a piece of information that made it across the centuries. But literary critics and scholars have suggested a likely date of no earlier than 1603. The year 1603 has been chosen, because the play contrasted the supposedly noble Banquo with the supposedly ignoble Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. Such a prejudicial view wouldn't have appealed to Queen Elizabeth I [September 7, 1533-March 24, 1603], who was sovereign during most of Shakespeare's life. But it would have gladdened Elizabeth's successor, King James [June 19, 1566-March 27, 1625] I of England and Ireland and VI of Scotland. The King was the son of Mary Stuart [December 8, 1542-February 8, 1587], Queen of Scots. The Stuart royal line claimed claimed descent from Walter the Royal Steward, who supposedly married into the royal family of Scotland. It also was claimed that Walter's parents were Fleance, who was the son of Banquo; and Nesta verch Gruffydd [b. 1059], who was the daughter of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn [c. 1007-August 5, 1063], the last native Prince of Wales. But the ancestral claims of the Stuarts weren't backed up by the genealogical and historical records. Nesta's family background was a mix of nobility and royalty. So her family information was recorded and preserved. According to the records, Nesta was married just once, to Osbern FitzRichard [c. 1055-1080]. She wasn't recorded as having taken any Fleance as a husband or having any Walter as a child. So considering the play's limited appeal to Elizabethan audiences, and its pro-Stuart slant, it couldn't be more than 406 years old in 2009.

Answer 2

The age of the nobleman Lennox, and indeed of the other characters in the play 'Macbeth', was unknown. William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] gave no information in that regard. But the impression may have been given that King Duncan I was in an older, fatherly age group; and that Macbeth, the king's sons, and Banquo were more or less in a younger, more filial generation. In such a scenario, it still wasn't clear where noblemen such as Lennox fit. But Lennox appeared to take a more advisorly than a fighting role. So he may have been intermediate in age between the King and the King's sons.
