According to the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] was beheaded. He lost his life during a sword fight with Macduff. Macduff mortally wounded Macbeth. He then cut off his head to show to the combined English and Scottish forces under the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. Additionally, the Thane of Cawdor may have been beheaded. He was convicted of treachery to his king and his country. The punishment was execution. The means was unspecified. So it may have been by hanging, or by beheading.
