According to the Shakespearean play, King Macbeth died in a sword fight with Macduff. Macduff suspected Macbeth of having killed King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Not too long after the killing of the King, Macbeth had Macduff's entire family and household killed. According to the historical record, King Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] may have died at the battle at Lumphanan. He was mortally wounded by the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093], one of King Duncan I's sons. Or he may have died a few days after the battle, at Scone where he had been crowned 17 years earlier. Either way, he was buried at the royal burial ground on the island of Iona, off the west coast of Scotland. That was also the final resting place of his predecessor, King Duncan I.
