King Duncan I of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' was a real, historical figure in the history of Scotland. He was the son of Crinan [d. 1045], the Hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld; and Bethoc, the eldest daughter of King Malcolm II [d. November 25, 1034]. He succeeded his father as King of Scotland, and ruled until his death on August 14, 1040. He died at the hands of his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of the lands of his successor, King Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057].
