In the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', the murder of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was supposed to take place in the Macbeths' home at Inverness Castle. Macbeth and his wife planned to murder their sovereign when he and his two royal guards would be most defenseless and vulnerable. He had made the journey from his palace at Forres, to Inverness. He had to get up early the next day to leave with Macduff and Lennox. He was tired, had just eaten his dinner, and was getting ready for bed in the rooms that the Macbeths had fixed up for him. Lady Macbeth had given his two royal chamberlains drugged drinks. The killing went as planned. The King and the guards were stabbed to death. When the bloodied corpses were discovered the next morning, the crime scene looked exactly the way that the Macbeths intended it to. It looked as though the guards had killed their sovereign and then each other in a fit of crazed drinking and drugging.
After the murder of King Duncan it was planned that Macbeth would place the bloody daggers next to the drugged soldiers that were supposed to be keeping watch over King Duncan. This was to be done in order to make the people of Scotland believe that the soldiers had executed the murder.

b/c King Duncan is remarking how lovely refreshing and full of life MacBeth's castle is. In fact, it is a place where his own murder has been planned and agreed upon; it is, in fact,a place that is dark with evil. And in a few hours he will be asleep and stabbed in night's darkness.
The two (2) royal grooms are the individuals whom Lady Macbeth frames for the murder of King Duncan (d. August 14, 1040) in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptzied April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, the killing of the king and of his guards takes place in Act II Scene II. Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) expertly wields a knife against all three. The guards are sleeping, but he decides that he can frame them for a murder charge against which they will have no opportunity to defend themselves. That is exactly his wife's thought on the matter as well.
