What clan was MacBeth?

Macbeth is a small Scottish village which is home to the ruins of Dunsinane Castle. The castle was home to a group of people led by Macbeth, a noted King of Scots in the 11th century. The name Macbeth comes from an old Gaelic word meaning "son of life" - Mac Beatha. Interestingly enough, it has been suggested that different branches of the MacBeth clan can be traced back to many different families throughout Scotland. Even more interesting there is no clan chief anymore and all lines of the family are now gone! One famous MacBeth went by Edgar Wormwood who wrote Shakespeare's play, but he was not even remotely related!

Why you shouldn't say Macbeth in a theatre?

According to the folklore, saying 'Macbeth' while inside a theater will bring you bad luck. During an early performance (circa 1606), Shakespeare's original actress who was scheduled to portray Lady Macbeth suddenly passed away and he was forced to replace her, only later did it seem as if her spirit still lingered in the theaters throughout England. Ha! Weird huh? Many other eerie reports have surfaced over the years including an actor being killed in front of an audience when a prop dagger was mysteriously replaced with a real one by mischievous theater staff. Some also believe Shakespeare brought his own curse upon the play by using authentic spells in the three witches' dialogue just to give it more authenticity - or perhaps we should say magical realism.

Was there a real Macbeth in Scotland?

Considered to be one of the final Gaelic kings, Macbeth's life was much more beautiful than William Shakespeare's depiction of him in The Tragedy of Macbeth. Macbeth was born in a portion of land known as modern-day Scotland around 1005 - which was also the same year that his grandfather became king. His father, Findlaech MacRuaridh, was a mormaer (a regional earl) of Moray, a province in northern Scotland. His mother, Donda, was the second daughter of Malcolm II. At 5'9" with bright red hair and ruddy complexion, many have described young Macbeth at being handsome beyond compare.
