Many people, both named and nameless, died in the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth'. In terms of the nameless, there were the unnamed soldiers who were killed during the opening act's battles between the armies of friends and fellow Generals Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and Banquo; and the armies of Macdonwald the rebellious Scotsman, King Sweno [c. 1016-1035] of Norway, and the treacherous Thane of Cawdor. There also were the unnamed soldiers who were killed during the closing act's battles between the armies of King Macbeth, and the armies under Siward, Earl of Northumberland and General of the English forces. And in between, there were the unnamed people of Scotland who suffered under 17 bleeding years of the Macbeths' tyrannical rule. In terms of the named, the first person to die was the rebellious Macdonwald, who was killed by Macbeth. The second was the disgraced, traitorous Thane of Cawdor. Third was King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], along with his two nameless royal guards. Fourth was Banquo. Fifth was Lady Macduff, along with all the unnamed members of her family and her household. Sixth was Lady Macbeth, who committed suicide by unspecified means. Seventh was Young Siward. And eighth was Macbeth.
