    What was the first name of the historical Lady Macbeth?

    Question #91377. Asked by BaronBatty. (Jan 21 08 5:15 AM)

    		Although Shakespeare does not mention her name in the play, the historical Lady Macbeth's first name was Gruoch.

    The real Macbeth took the throne of Scotland in 1040, after killing his cousin King Duncan I in a battle near Elgin in the Moray district of Scotland. Duncan's eldest son, Malcolm, ended Macbeth's reign in 1057 by killing him in battle and later assuming the throne as Malcolm III.
