Two men reigned as kings of Scotland in 'Macbeth'. With the play's end, a third was going to reign once he was crowned. The Shakespearean play began with the reign of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. But throughout most of the play, the King was Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The play ended with the killing and beheading of Macbeth by Macduff, and the preparations of the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] to be crowned at Scone. But the play's end wasn't backed up by the historical record. According to history, Macbeth was succeeded by his stepson, King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058]. Lady Macbeth's [b. c. 1015] son from her first marriage to Gille Coemgain [d. 1032] was succeeded by King Malcolm III, who was King Duncan I's elder son and the murderer of his two immediate royal predecessors.
There are six men who reign as king in Shakespeare's Macbeth: Duncan, Macbeth, Malcolm, Donalbain, Macbeth's son, and Macduff.
