In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," several significant events take place at the king's headquarters, including the assassination of King Duncan by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. This act sets off a chain of events that leads to Macbeth becoming king and subsequently descending into madness and tyranny. The headquarters serve as a central location for political intrigue, power struggles, and the unraveling of Macbeth's tragic downfall.

There were eight kings of Scotland who were allegedly decended from Fleance, the last being James VI who happened to be king of England when Shakespeare was writing the play.
The line of kings shown to Macbeth in his vision are intended to imply that Banquo's descendants will not only be kings but will be kings for ever. Naturally this was a polite flattery to King James, who was supposedly one of them. Anyway, Macbeth gets the point, although why it should distress him as much as it does is puzzling.

Oh honey, let me break it down for you. The line of 8 kings in Macbeth refers to the eight kings that Banquo sees in a vision, who are all descendants of Banquo himself. It's a symbolic way of showing that Banquo's lineage will eventually rule Scotland, unlike Macbeth's doomed reign. So, in a nutshell, those 8 kings are basically a mic drop on Macbeth's power-hungry behind.
Banquo's heirs are prophesied to become kings. Macbeth tries to frustrate this by having Banquo and his child killed, but he fails because Fleance lives on to become the father of a line of kings
