Historic background

Macbeth (Gaelic: Macbheatha, meaning son of life) was badly treated by Shakespeare and by the chronicler Holingshed. Both were writing from an English perspective, several centuries later, and their interpretation was distorted by their belief in hereditary title. Macbeth was the elected High King of Scotland (Alba) under old Celtic law (tanistry), and ruled peacefully and justly from 1040 to 1057 AD. He was actually a good king.
