Duncan's sons did not become kings after his death because they sensed danger and planed to slip away quietly, therefore Macbeth was named king as he was the thane of Glamis, and Cawdor which gave him a higher rank. After the death of Macbeth, Malcolm is than given the throne.

Who do Macbeth and lady Macbeth plan to blam for king duncans death?

Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and his Lady [b. c. 1015] planned to blame the two royal guards for the untimely death of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] of Scotland. Lady Macbeth was supposed to serve the guards drugged drinks, to keep them from protecting their sovereign. Macbeth was supposed to kill the sleeping, unarmed King and then the passed out, defenseless guards. The bloodied murder weapons were supposed to be left at the crime scene with the bloodied corpses. The crime scene was supposed to tell a tale of a king killed by his drunken guards and avenged by his outraged host. And that was what happened and how the royal guest chamber was made to look, in Act 2 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play.
