Macbeth
Macbeth 1588-1589
Macbeth is Henry 3 (Valois)
on Dec.23, 1588 the Duc de Guise was assassinated.
Catherine de Medici is Lady Macbeth
Banquo is Henry 4 (Bourbon)
Play was rewritten after 1603 in compliment to James Stuart
Details were changed from the chronicles to reflect what happened in France.
Witchcraft trials were currently happening in Essex.
Porter is an allusion to the earl of Leicester while he was still alive, which is probably how ETC arrived at the date for this play.
