Macbeth Of Scotland: The Real King Before Shakespeare's Play
From The Real Macbeth, Series 01, Episode 01
The Shakespearean villain, Macbeth, is famous for ambition and murder. But the historical King Macbeth of Scotland was a far different man. This documentary digs into the archaeological and written evidence to separate the fact from the fiction, revealing how Macbeth was actually a popular, successful king who reigned for 17 years. Discover the Celtic inheritance laws that justified his taking of the throne from King Duncan, the true story behind the battle with the Norsemen, and why Shakespeare, under the patronage of King James I, deliberately painted Macbeth as a monster. A fascinating look at the real history of Scotland's last great Celtic king.
