Synopsis
An intriguing account that looks behind the legends to the real MacBeth, drawing from contemporary sources as the writings of the annalist Tighernach and the Orkneyinga Saga. It emerges that the reality is far removed from the traditional image popularised by Shakespeare. Records show that he was the greatest and last of the truly Gaelic Kings who forged a single realm and ruled well and generously during 17 years until cut down in 1057.
