Who were the monarchs during Macbeth's life and what was their significance?
The historical record hasn't indicated when Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] was born. But his father, Findlaech mac Ruaidri, died in 1020. So sometime during that year would have been the latest that Macbeth would have been born. Macbeth was King of Scotland for 17 years, 1040-1057. He succeeded King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], who had been killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified and unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands. King Duncan was the immediate successor to King Malcolm II [d. November 25, 1034]. Malcolm had ruled since 1005. Something significant about the three kings during Macbeth's life was their relationship to each other. Macbeth's mother was Malcolm's daughter or granddaughter. Duncan's parents were Crinan [d. 1045], Hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld; and Bethoc, Malcolm's eldest daughter. So Macbeth's and Duncan's mothers were related as sisters or as niece and aunt. Some sources even have identified Bethoc as the wife first to Macbeth's father, and then to Duncan's.
What is the name of Shakespeare's forest?
Birnam Wood. According to Shakespeare, Macbeth would never be vanquished until Birnam Wood became Dunsinane.

Who were Donalbain and Malcolm?
According to the historical record and the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Donalbain and Malcolm were the sons of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Donalbain undoubtedly was younger. According to the historical record, he became the subsequent King Donald III [d. 1099]. Also according to the historical record, Malcolm undoubtedly was the elder. He became the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. But unlike the play, the historical record didn't identify Macbeth as King Duncan's killer. Instead, the record showed the King as having been killed by his own men for his unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, and unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands at Moray. Neither did the record identify Malcolm as succeeding Macbeth as King of Scotland. Nor did the historical record show Macduff as killing Macbeth. Instead, it showed Malcolm as coming to power after mortally wounding Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] at the battle of Lumphanan, and killing Macbeth's stepson King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058] near Huntly.
