Fact of the Day: Macbeth

Macbeth is one of William Shakespeare's most famous plays, but the play's King actually existed. He was King of Scots from 1040-1057, though it is said he was killed in battle by the future Malcom III. Despite his role in Shakespeare's work, no historic evidence has been found to suggest Macbeth was a tyrant.

    Macbeth and his dear "lady" were a curse for
    us here studying English literature.
    Pity that there are still a lot of evil Lady Macbeths still
    in this world!!!
    Shakespeare was not the flavour of the month / year, I can assure
    you in my final years of college.
