Summary:
The Tragedy of Macbeth (commonly called Macbeth) is a play by William Shakespeare about a regicide and its aftermath. Shakespeare's source for the tragedy are the accounts of King Macbeth of Scotland, Macduff, & Duncan in Holinshed's Chronicles (1587), a history of England, Scotland & Ireland familiar to Shakespeare and his contemporaries. However, the story of Macbeth as told by Shakespeare bears little relation to real events in Scottish history, as Macbeth was an admired & able monarch.
