Fact of the Day: Queen Macbeth

While in Shakespeare's play Macbeth, the King's wife is known only as Lady Macbeth. She was actually based on an actual Queen of Scotland. Her real name was Gruoch Boite.

    And I think she really lived up to her name.
    You can have quite a fiddle with that name, eh?
    How about "Grouchy Bitch" - ha ha.

    I think "Lady Macbeth" is easier to say.
