Macbeth was King of Scotland(at the time called Alba) from 1040 till 1057.
There are six men who reign as king in Shakespeare's Macbeth: Duncan, Macbeth, Malcolm, Donalbain, Macbeth's son, and Macduff.
Macbeth is shown a line of kings, all of whom resemble Banquo. This vision represents the prophecy that Banquo's descendants will inherit the throne, indicating that Macbeth's reign will not be secure and will eventually be usurped by Banquo's line.
In the Shakespeare play, Macbeth is succeeded by Malcolm, son of Duncan. Macduff says to him, "Hail, king, for so thou art." The historical reality was somewhat different. The historical Macbeth was succeeded after a long and mostly peaceful reign of 17 years, by his stepson Lulach (that's Lady Macbeth's son) who was unfortunately not so successful.
Macduff challenges Macbeth to a duel towards the end of the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Macduff seeks revenge for the murders of his family that Macbeth ordered. The duel results in Macduff killing Macbeth and ultimately ending his reign as king.

King Duncan is a fictional character from William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." In the play, he is the King of Scotland. While the exact years of his reign are not specified, historical references suggest that Duncan I ruled from 1034 to 1040 in real Scottish history. However, Shakespeare's portrayal may take creative liberties with the timeline and events surrounding his reign.
The first apparition in Shakespeare's Macbeth is a floating head that tells Macbeth to beware of Macduff. It says that Macbeth should be on guard against Macduff because he poses a threat to Macbeth's reign.
Macbeth is at war with the future that babies and children represent because the witches' prophecies predict that Banquo's descendants, not Macbeth's, will inherit the throne. Macbeth sees these innocent generations as a threat to his own power and is willing to commit atrocities to secure his reign.
Shakespeare always abandoned historical detail when it would get in the way of drama. In fact Macbeth was a well-loved king whose reign was very long, not the hated tyrant of a short reign shown in the play. Nor was he really succeeded by Malcolm. Malcolm did eventually become king, but Macbeth was actually succeeded by his stepson Lulach.
Malcolm and Macduff are both key characters in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." They share a common goal of overthrowing Macbeth and restoring rightful rule to Scotland. Both characters are also deeply affected by the actions and consequences of Macbeth's reign.
