Best Answer

Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] killed King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] of Scotland in the year 1040. According to the Shakespearean play, he became King of Scotland the very day of his predecessor's death. That was one of the points on which William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] wrote in accordance with the historical record.

Macbeth himself doesn't kill Banquo (unless he is the shadowy third murderer, which is unlikely), but he has his hired killers do it for him in Act III Scene 3
