November 13, 1093] and the subsequent King Donald III [d. 1099], mutually decide that they find the explanations of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] suspicious. They therefore plan to remove themselves from the scene so as not to be framed as suspects or murdered as heirs. Malcolm decides to escape to England, Donalbain to Ireland. Neither one is willing to pretend to get along with Macbeth, whom they suspect and who inherits the throne of Scotland.
