count youself lucky that shakepeare wrote a good play about your king.

there are lots of places and people who don't get any sort of mention in the works of the greatest dramatist in the history of the world.

I remember one time meeting on the internet this woman who was a descendant of the MacLoweries shot by Wyatt Earp at the OK corral. She referred to the Earps as the Holiday /Earp gang and said that they had nicked money out of her relatives pocket when he was dead and they were generally a bad lot.

I remember saying, gosh you must be so proud to be part of a legend. She didn't reply.

When you're dead - you're lucky if anybody remembers you at all.

and Shakespeare does make Macbeth out to have many sterling qualities: bravery, a conscience, a great general, a devoted wife...

however as a british citizen I offer you my apologies for any offence caused by our greatest poet. He was almost a Brummie, coming from where he did, and they can be careless of peoples feelings- look at spaghetti junction for example.
