King James I of England played a significant role in the creation of Macbeth by commissioning William Shakespeare's acting company to create a play about witches and the Scottish royal lineage to flatter and entertain him. This led to the creation of Macbeth, which incorporated elements of Scottish history and witchcraft to cater to the king's interests.
