Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] claimed only one motive for the assassination of his sovereign, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. He felt that he could identify only the motive of raging, uncontrollable ambition. In contrast, he identified many reasons for not going through with the murder of the King. He cited his responsibilities as beneficiary of favors and honors, host, kin, and subject to his King. He also pointed out the esteem, love, and respect of the Scots for their King. Additionally, he referred to the good opinion with which he had come to be held by important people.
