Best Answer

The play is loosely based on the life of a real Scottish King, who died in about 1057, so the setting of the play is before or around that date

Scholars believe that the play is most likely dated between 1603 and 1606. For more info on Macbeth and in depth discussion, see the Answers.com Macbeth page - http://www.answers.com/topic/macbeth
