Who discovers duncan has been murdered?
Duncan was the King of England, and was the lover of Macbeth. He was murdered, because in order for Macbeth to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at Macbeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But Duncan's flaw, wasn't something so horrible that he should die. Most people need to trust each other more, and just because one person did, he shouldn't have to die. Macbeth, possibly encouraged by the weakened position of Duncan, formed an alliance with their first cousin Thorfinn, earl of Orkney, Caithness and Sutherland under the King of Norway started a revolt. The rival armies met and Duncan was defeated and killed on August 1, 1040 near Elgin in Moray. There is some dispute as to the exact nature of Duncan's death, some texts say he died in battle and others say he was killed shortly after the battle by Macbeth.

What was the title that duncan gave to Macbeth?
Some people might think that Duncan gives this title to Macbeth because Macbeth was instrumental in capturing the traitor Thane of Cawdor. But this is wrong. The Thane of Ross brings the news to Duncan of Cawdor's treachery but does not name Macbeth as the man that captures him. Ross is then told to find Macbeth and tell him that he is now the Thane of Cawdor. When Ross tells him this, Macbeth is astonished: he says "The thane of Cawdor lives--a prosperous gentleman! Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?" He would not have been astonished had he been the man to capture Cawdor. What is more, Ross is not surprised that he is astonished, because Ross knows that Macbeth has not yet heard of Cawdor's treachery. It is possible that Duncan misunderstood Ross's report and believed that Macbeth could simultaneously be in Forres (in northern Scotland) and Fife (in southern Scotland) fighting two different battles at the same time. If he was that much of a dimwit about the geography of the country he was supposed to be king of, then he might have rewarded Macbeth for something he did not do. It is far more likely that Macbeth receives the title either because Duncan wants to reward the brave and victorious Macbeth who defeated Macdonweald, or that his choice of Macbeth as the recipient is entirely arbitrary.

Why do you think Macbeth and his wife murdered king duncan?
Well first of all, Lady Macbeth didn't murder King Duncan.

He murdered the king so the prophecy the three witches told him would come true....that'd he'd become the king.

What events that occur in act II go against the natural order of things in Macbeth?

Who were the monarchs during Macbeth's life and what was their significance?
The historical record hasn't indicated when Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] was born. But his father, Findlaech mac Ruaidri, died in 1020. So sometime during that year would have been the latest that Macbeth would have been born. Macbeth was King of Scotland for 17 years, 1040-1057. He succeeded King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], who had been killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified and unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands. King Duncan was the immediate successor to King Malcolm II [d. November 25, 1034]. Malcolm had ruled since 1005. Something significant about the three kings during Macbeth's life was their relationship to each other. Macbeth's mother was Malcolm's daughter or granddaughter. Duncan's parents were Crinan [d. 1045], Hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld; and Bethoc, Malcolm's eldest daughter. So Macbeth's and Duncan's mothers were related as sisters or as niece and aunt. Some sources even have identified Bethoc as the wife first to Macbeth's father, and then to Duncan's.
