Descrição

The three witches are later referred to as “the three weird sisters.” Act I, Scene 1 Three witches gather and say that they’ll meet with Macbeth before sunset and after a terrible battle that has been fought nearby. The three witches are later referred to as “the three weird sisters.” Remember: “Fair is foul and foul is fair.”
The following information, from explains how the sons of Banquo went on to be kings of Scotland (as foretold by the witches). The Stewart family records its traditional descent from Banquo, Thane of Lochaber, who makes an appearance as a character in William Shakespeare s Macbeth. Historically, however, the family appears to be descended from an ancient family who were senechals of Dol in Brittany. They acquired lands in England after the Norman conquest and moved to Scotland when David I ascended to the throne of Scotland. The family were granted extensive estates in Renfrewshire and East Lothian and the office of High Steward was made hereditary in the family. It is through marriage with the daughter of Robert the Bruce that we can begin to trace the descent of the Royal House of Stewart. The royal line of male Stewarts continued uninterrupted until the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots. As a family, the Royal Stewarts held the throne of Scotland, and later that of England, in the direct line until the death of Queen Anne in In fact, the present Royal family still has Stewart blood links.
