Best Answer

In the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] had two children. Malcolm undoubtedly was the elder son. He was given the title of Prince of Cumberland, as heir apparent to his father. He in fact became the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093].

In the historical record, Malcolm killed his two immediate predecessors. First, he killed Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057], who hadn't killed King Duncan. Instead, Duncan was killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of Macbeth's ancestral lands. Then Malcolm killed Macbeth's stepson, King Lulach [d. March 27, 1058].

Donalbain was the younger son. In the play, he fled to Ireland after his father's death. He didn't make another appearance in the play. But in the historical record he did, as his brother's successor. In fact, Donalbain became King Donald III [d. 1099].

He kills the chairman, and he admits it saying he did it out of rage, scaring Duncan's sons more.

because they feared that whoever killed their father would come after them. Unfortunately, their escape made it appear as if they were the one who killed their father.

Only one of them, Malcolm. Duncan's other son is presumably still hiding in Ireland.
