William Shakespeare might have written the play "Macbeth" as early as 1603. There were two monarchs in that year. One was Queen Elizabeth I. The other was King James I of England and Ireland and VI of Scotland.
It was more likely that the play was written under the second monarch instead of the first. The play was set mainly in Scotland and reinvented Scotland's history. The reinvention would not have interested Queen Elizabeth I. But it would have interested King James I/VI. The King was the son of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. The Stuarts liked to circulate stories about themselves. One such story was their descent from the fictitious Banquo through his son Fleance, both of whom appeared in the Shakespearian play.

∙ 14y agoWilliam Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] died during the reign of King James VI [June 19, 1566-March 27, 1625] of Scotland. That king's reign as King James I of England and Scotland began on March 24, 1603, with the death of Queen Elizabeth I [b. September 7, 1533]. Shakespeare may have written his play 'Macbeth' as early as 1603. Who the English monarch was at the time of the play's writing depended upon when during the year of 1603 the writing began and when it was completed. But historians tend to view the writing as begun and completed after the death of Queen Elizabeth I.
