Historically speaking, Lady Macbeth had a son by her first husband Gillecomlan called Lulach, who was adopted by his stepfather Macbeth. She and Macbeth had no children of their own. Although it was Lulach who became king after Macbeth, Shakespeare considered it dramatically unnecessary to include this fact in his play and so he does not appear.

Who is allowed to interpret the Bible in The Orthodox Church?
The Bible has been interpreted by the holy Fathers of the church. These are saints who have given their inspired interpretation, such as St Athanasius the Great, St John Chrysostom, St Basil the Great, St Gregory the Theologian, and other similar saints of the church. There is no need for any further interpretation, as this could lead to personal opinions and errors. Everything we need for our salvation has already been given to us.

What does macduff vow to do to Macbeth and why?
After learning that he killed Macdonwald, the Thane of Cawdor (the traitor of Scotland), Duncan makes Macbeth the new Thane of Cawdor. He makes Macbeth the Thane because of his valiance in battle. After all, when a battle is done now-a days, awards and battle decorations are handed out, and the guys who were the bravest, most valiant soldiers are given awards like the Medal of Honor. Except that Macdonwald (whom Macbeth unseamed from the nave to the chaps) is a totally different person from "That most disloyal traitor, the Thane of Cawdor" (who was captured and later executed "Is execution done on Cawdor?"). In fact, they must have been involved in two totally seperate battles (as indeed they were historically) because Macbeth had no idea that the Thane of Cawdor was a traitor or had been condemned when the witches predict that he will be Cawdor or when Ross announces that he has been given the title. He could not have been involved in that battle. Macbeth was given the title of Thane of Cawdor for his valour in battle all right, but not because he had personally defeated the previous Thane. Macbeth never fought the previous Thane.
