MACBETH
“If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well
It were done quickly: if the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We’ld jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison’d chalice
To our own lips. He’s here in double trust;
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And pity, like a naked new-born babe,
Striding the blast, or heaven’s cherubim, horsed
Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself
And falls on the other.”
– The Tragedy of Macbeth Act 1, Scene VII
The Tragedy of Macbeth is based on a rather faulty tale of the life and times of King Macbeth that William Shake-speare read before he wrote the play. Macbeth did, however, succeed as King of Scots after he slew his cousin King Duncan (1001 – 1040). The first to rule Scotland from the House of Dunkeld, Duncan was the son of Crínán of Atholl, Lay Abbott of Dunkeld (980 – 1045) Primogenitor of the Dunkeld Dynasty.
At Pitgaveny, near Elgin, on 15 August 1040, Duncan was killed in battle against the army led by Macbeth, with the support of Thorfinn “the Black”, 18th Jarl of Orkney (1009 – 1064). Duncan and Macbeth. They were first cousins, once removed through their maternal grandfather Malcolm II MacKenneth of Alba (954 – 1034) by three of his daughters (Duncan-Bethoc, Macbeth-Donada, and Thorfinn-Anleta).
Macbeth was an agnatic cousin of Niall Mor Noígíallach of the Nine Hostages (380 – 454) High King of Ireland, the eponymic founder of the Ui Néill clan. They were both agnatic descendants of the Eber Fionn, the first High King of Ireland, son of Galamh mac Bile “Míl Espáine” (1853 – 1806 BC) Father of the Irish Race, the eponymic founder of the Milesian dynasty.
Macbeth was the maternal great-grandson of Brian Boru (941 – 1014) Founder of the O’Brien Dynasty of Irish High Kings. Himself an agnatic descendant of Eber Fionn, in conquering Ireland, he ended the domination of the Ui Néill Irish High Kings dynasty and thereupon started the Ó Briain dynasty of Irish High Kings.
