In the Shakespearean play, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was stabbed to death by Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. Macbeth then was King for 17 years. He was killed and beheaded by Macduff, who sought revenge for the loss of his entire family and household. But the Scotsman who replaced Macbeth on Scotland's throne was King Duncan I's elder son, King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. The version of the royal succession by William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] wasn't backed up by the historical record. Instead, King Duncan was killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands in Moray. After 17 years of rule, Macbeth was succeeded by his stepson, King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058]. King Lulach in turn was succeeded by King Malcolm III, King Duncan's elder son and the murderer of Kings Macbeth and Lulach.
