Macbeth, King of Scotland
Mac Bethad mac Findlaích (Modern Gaelic: ''MacBheatha mac Fhionnlaigh'',〔''Mac Bethad mac Findlaích'' is the Medieval Gaelic form.〕 anglicised as Macbeth, and nicknamed Rí Deircc, "the Red King";〔William Forbes Skene, ''Chronicles'', p. 102.〕 died 15 August 1057) was King of the Scots (also known as the King of Alba, and earlier as King of Moray and King of Fortriu) from 1040 until his death. He is best known as the subject of William Shakespeare's tragedy ''Macbeth'' and the many works it has inspired, although the play is not an accurate portrait of the historical king.
==Etymology==
The name ''Mac Bethad'' (or, in modern Gaelic, ''MacBheatha''), from which the anglicized "MacBeth" is derived, means "son of life". Although it has the appearance of a Gaelic patronymic it does not have any meaning of filiation but instead carries an implication of "righteous man"〔 or "religious man". An alternative proposed derivation is that it is a corruption of ''macc-bethad'' meaning "one of the elect".〔
