The truth of the royal predictions of the three witches is what Macbeth asks for in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 23, 1564-April 26, 1616).
Specifically, in Act 1 Scene 1, the three witches planned their subsequent meeting, in Scene 3, with Macbeth (c. 1014-August 15, 1057). In Act 3 Scene 4, Macbeth planned his subsequent meeting, in Act 4 Scene 1, with the three witches. In this second interaction, he asked first to know the security or insecurity of his royal rule over Scotland. He thought that he understood the apparently simple warning against Macduff. Likewise did he think that he understood the apparently impossible warnings of moving forests and of men not born of women.
But Macbeth was not satisfied with the answers to the success or failure of his consolidation of royal power. He had hired three murderers to kill Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance. Banquo had ended up with a slit throat in the park near the royal palace at Forres. But Fleance had escaped.
Macbeth therefore asked also to know whether Banquo would indeed be the ancestor of kings that the witches had predicted, in Act 1 Scene 3. The final apparition that the witches called forth to answer Macbeth's questions gave a resoundingly affirmative response.
