The Truth Behind The Real Macbeth | The Real MacBeth

- The real Scottish king Macbeth was a far cry from the great Shakespearean villain, but his story was even more fascinating, presenter Tony Robinson discovers in his continuing series which uncovers the myths behind legendary British heroes. The original and real King Macbeth lived in the 11th century and reigned from 1040 to 1057. He was not the vicious, jealous, superstitious murderer Shakespeare painted, but he took a path to the throne that was just as bloody.
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

Saw this play at a Shakespeare Festival with my children, who 10, 8 and 6. All three were mezmorized. Today, my children are in their 40s, and they still talk about that play.
I’m a simple person.. I see Tony Robinson, I watch it..
Haha same here ✋
Me too!
MY BOI VOICE GOT A 2MS ECHO ON 0% FEEDBACK
Sounds like a Dassaaaalek.
Looks like I'm going to have a binge night watching all of this, There is so much new info I dont remember seeing/hearing before. Thankyou
Wonderful. Please Tony can you do a series of the Tragedies? Macbeth has been such a treat. It is alive . Thank you.
This was great and I always love Tony in any show. Have patience people and take the 30 seconds for ads to close you eyes and take some deep breaths. Not everything has to come to you right away. Or you can pay or youcan fast forward to the end and hit replay for no ads. Be calm. 💕🐝
A very good documentary indeed! Absolutely mesmerizing! I really like the presenter, Tony Robinson is very good and quite amusing too! Thank you so much!
The sound goes back to normal at 7:26. But still has some points where it gets patchy
Thank You for the head's up my friend 😊🙏🏼
So interesting!! Great background video for students studying the play.
The audio on this is all messed up.
It's bloody annoying, so distracting. I'm 17mins in and canning it.
Yes indeed, it ruins an otherwise good effort.
Really enjoy these videos. Thank you
Very interesting! I’m glad to learn the actual history, but I still love the play.
Wonderfully interesting. Thank you!
Excellent episode. Very truthful and emotional final words.
Elizabeth Hurly asks, "What kind of computer do you have?"
Answer, "It's a Mac, Beth."
🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️
Congratulations. That is the absolute worst pun I have ever heard. Your time machine awaits to take you back to early 1900's Vaudeville, where the comedians there will beat you to death for being worse than they are.
Thank you, Tony, I loved this and all the details I did not know are so interesting!
Absolutely brilliant film. Thanks so much for this!
Wonderful tale , wonderful narrator. Thanks ever so much.
history as we are taught it, depends upon who was writing it. yep they had spin doctors even back then
That large, Scottish gentleman can carry me off into the highlands any day.
Lol! Love at first sight exists! I wish you meeting him in person! ❤️
Yep, totally agree.
The red hairy one? Duh... Sir Tony innae Scotsman. 😛
I'm so glad i'm gay because bitch, me too
My grandmother and great-grandmother spent their entire lifetimes researching our family name which goes back to Macbeth. I am the last in this line of the family and when I die my clan and clan name die with me.
then we are in the same boat...just a different name famous from about 500 b.c. on. It is a bitter sweet place to be isn't it?
Aye. It happens. Family branches & lineage lines die off.
We researched our name. I was surprised at some of the stuff we found out.
My maiden name was McBeth. My father gas traced our line back many generations. U have told my friend that I could be a Princess!! But alas, he had no children! Oh well!!
Wow, we might be related.LOL We traced our lineage back to Mcbeth also!
I'm a descendant of Lady Macbeth! Time for a family reunion? ;)
wonderfully explained.
does anybody else get the feeling that there’s another level here? Malcolm comes to fight Macbeth, but he’s only paying for his english queen; when he gets to be king he’ll be under england’s thumb. He’s facing down the man doing what Malcolm should be doing, preserving Scotland for the Gaels. He should throw in his lot, abandon his queen and join the Gaels. He lets his selfishness get in the way of a greater good.
Seeing the Scottish play at the reconstructed Globe is one of my favorite memories!
This is brilliant as ever when Sir Baldrick presents anything! Only bad thing is metal Mickey sound quality.
I'm descendent the King MacBeth prime, my country Canada the provincal of Quebec area Montréal. I'm verv happy of documentery the real story of the MacBeth famely, thank-you mister Tony Robinson. I,m de real Norman MacBeth, real descendent the King of scot. MacBeth prime.
Oh hold on it straightens out! The sound that is.
or do you get used to it
@@frankiegargoyle7783 This guy gets it
I used to always wonder why Macbeth was called the Scottish Play. I think I only heard of the superstition in the last 10 years or so.
What's up with the audio?
I read that when I was about 11 for school and it honestly scared me!
I. Lewer omg
The play is scary. I read it when I was 16.
“...that struts & frets his hour away upon the stage, & is no more...”
Yup.
42.
a people's divided against themselves, cannot survive, and expect, not to be prey to a stronger foe
Wuffing Dynasty were probably Armenian Roman Military cavalry.worshiping Hecate and Geats were Boar crested warriors possibly Phoenician descendants from Carthage,Baltic Nobles.
The audio on this video is jacked...
Probably messed with to avoid copyright
obadiah normal Timeline and this channel get permission and they always have weird sound on a lot of vids.
Love it! Thanks! Great video
One of the best performances ever-- Dame Judi Dench!
Strange that I am watching this on the 14th Aug, which is the day of the real Macbeth's death
Blasted music is spoiling this for me ! It is louder than his narration.
The tour guide telling them to bring their ciggies for a puff was gold.
I just can't even begin to understand what it would have been like to live in those times!
Thank you for this.....love MacBeth as a play.....but this was an eye opener and yes...I know he had blonde hair!
3:40 "Do you se what I mean?"
"No"
Sound is odd.And would you like some more history in your adds?
they are the reason why i'm watching the video from my pc with adblocker
My goodness! The sound sucks on this one again. I've not said anything on the past 2 cuz I thought y'all would get it strait. But not yet. Keep working on it.
Just started watching. The sound is terrible in the beginning. I hope it gets better!
Distracting sound effects and visuals, specially the narrator walking backward and forwards talking in front of the camera.
Fix the patchy sound errors....it's terrible!
There's too much documentary in my ads.
For all those ads, a set of subtitles that aren't autogenerated crap, for the hearing impaired (oddly enough, a greater portion of the target audience) would be appropriate. Hint, hint.
Install Adblocker or Adguard in your browser. No more ads! NICE.
@@gj8683 IF you have the TH-cam App, no such luck...! 😢
@@BigMamaDaveX That is true. Same thing here. I can only get the blockers to work on the computers, not on the tablets or phones. That's why I said "browser."

I know you’ve probably heard this before but,
Have you tried manually skipping to the end of a video on your phone & then hit the replay option ? I’ve heard it works sporadically.
Nobody can hold a candle to Defragged History. This channel does an emphatic four episod about the real McBethad (yup his real name). It is very well (extensively) documented yet is is fun to watch and very accessible, due to the talented creator/editor/narator of the channel. Highly recommended.
A lot of Armour and weapons were hand me downs or inherited,steel swords were stronger than local bronze swords,must have seemed like witch craft to a superstitious culture.
I always personally liked Macbeth the best of the plays I have read of Shakespeare.
What is wrong with the audio?
Is it me or there really is something wrong with the sound?
It got better after about 7 minutes, and then it would echo here and there, but not as bad as in the beginning.
✨Fine historians, and production.✨
Just found out Macbeth was my direct ancestor and then found out his story and how they banished and hunted our family. My grandma says that our family has a history of drunkards so thanks for that guys.
Heh I thought red king meant his hair lol but anger makes sense. Finley means son of Fergus and fergus means wrathful one and Finley’s have tempers lol.
😭 I’m so proud of my Heritage!!
I am also I believe I am a descendant of Macbeth, but my name is a different spelling of Macbeth, a sept of the name without the Mac 🖥️. Shortened, and several others, won’t say for privacy reasons. Although most of my known recent family history was in Ireland dating back to around maybe 17th and definitely 18th and 19th centuries as farmers and probably some other trades included with farming until some of them immigrated away as settlers.
We're going on a journey ... Where have we seen that before?
He is seriously going to narrate an inteire video about Macbeth without ever saying the name “Macbeth” ? I can’t believe...loved it
Ahh I’m kind of disappointed :/
@@LaurinhaPimenta Honestly I am too.
Any mention of Nigel Tranter’s books?
Nigel’s books a great…MacBeth the King is a Great read.
If you want to really learn about the most likely (although still disputed) truth about MacBeth, read Dorothy Dunnett's fabulous novel King Hereafter. Then read up about Shakespeare's MacBeth being a comment about the ascension of James Vl of Scotland to the throne of England.
In the 1990s, there was a Disney cartoon that fairly faithfully portrayed the real Macbeth. This cartoon was called Gargoyles, Gothic Heroes
Excellent video and regards from Uruguay 😘🇺🇾
I need to find myself a tall long-haired Scotsman! ;-)
40:14 the reenactor had on sunglasses.
...out out damn spot...
History is written by the Victors, how true. I guess I bought into Shakespeare's play as pretty much fact. Now I look at it differently. Ever since I was young I had doubts about recorded history, and it appears I could have been correct. There are many examples. In the US we celebrate the war in 1812 as a great win but I hear the English students are taught it was an English victory. There is fact and there is fiction and somewhere in the middle you will find the truth.
sound is terrible. Very tinny
My family also goes through the founding of the black watch with Farquhar Shaw who was then executed on the field at Bannockburn because he refused to send his men who were a police force into war stop music. I have a very prominent Scottish family and when I was a little girl my father said don't ever let anyone tell you you are not born of Scottish Kings! My entire family is gone now. And I would love for somebody to want to take over studying the family as it is remarkable. My dad was the Scotsman through and through I lived in the UK for many many years but I never made it up to see where we came from. I wanted to retire in Scotland but it seems that without at least $1000000 you are not considered independently wealthy in the United Kingdom which is no longer very United. I have plenty to live a comfortable life on my own without needing help from a government but I don't think they'll accept that. 😥
Elizabeth, i can't understand what you're saying. You're British but can't live in Scotland because the Uk gvt requires you to have £1m to live there?
@@iggle6448 I am American with a father from Scotland and I spent 25 years of my life living in the UK after I was educated here. I didn't ask for anybody to understand what I'm saying the gist of it is that I want to be back living in the UK and that always isn't possible or the easiest thing to make happen especially now. I was born here in Northern New England.
@@elizabethshaw734 The Scottish government had a repatriation scheme. Maybe it's still going? My Aussie friend (Scottish parents) told me about it a few years back. The gvt offered a great deal of help for people of Scottish heritage (as I am also) to return and resettle - a generous package of e.g. housing and financial help plus other needs. (Knowing about this is why I wanted to understand something of your circumstances). Scotland is a great country with lots to offer and far, far fewer social problems than England, which I wouldn't recommend nowadays for anyone unless they're £billionnaires! In my humble experience of having lived in several countries, moving countries is never an easy project at the best of times. But so worth it!
attila took the wives of his enemies, after they were killed.. attila made a major mistake..
Would've been smarter to befriend his enemies to drinking buddies and lock the wives up 😁
@@joakimblomqvist7229 'would have been' is a nick name for the ex football player WR played by Matthew M in 'Dazed and Confused'.
Standard operating procedure for leaders is to befriend their enemies, get close enough to ascertain why they are enemies, and then determine if GOD sent them to test the (current leader) or if the enemy is the righteous, there by the ideals of the enemy be Taken and accepted.
when the Muslims/arabs took big J, they knew the Christians would be back and back and back for tourist rts to the land of the desert. so the Arabs agreed to allow Christians (this after many attempts to deny Christians Tourist access to Big J in Israel) Tourist rts and the allowance to defy their teachings, not to drink the Blood of Christ, to occur right before their very Muslim eyes.
when in rome, act Roman and Never utter the word of Peace. It was banned to say the word ever since Hannibal.
BUT when there is a God, there can be tests and not all leaders by blood should rule over other bloodlines any way.
wives hmm a man that demands his pussy be only his, best love that pussy and not demand more than that one Pussy.
Mormons allow their leaders to possess as many women as they can mustard from the rank and files of inferior females available. ONLY a slave or sex object would allow ITself to become 2nd chair or 3rd chair when it comes to laying down the hard cock to limp.
British lords had a RT to 'breaking the girl' (red hot chili peppers' song), and that Tradition had to go bye bye.
what makes men enemies? the whispering of their own woman in two of their ears? or is it something inside themselves? there is no evidence of Ouija Board use and yet Ouija Boards have been known to predict as much as 18 months in advance
I agree with U, accept the called enemy within the drinking ranks, get them loose enough with the Blood of Christ to secure their inner thoughts and then defeat their own weak fears with Confidence and knowledge that hey IS 4 horses and only a Fool goes overseas to look for WMDs/ such things called war. over what? land for sheep herding? LOL
Word is that shakespeare never actually wrote any of the works he is said to have, they were written by some LORD that was not in want to be known for his abilities of ART. so the gay dude got the credit but there r NO royalties paid for using Shakey's works
high school can use all and any of the shakey works and pay NOT a dime for the use of them, only have to pay for costumes. whereas Disney will demand some coins if a high school plans to do a play of 'spiderman'.
if u plan to drink with your enemy/ies, use Vodka with water they can not tell if u water if down, whereas if u water down scotch they will know. lol and if there be a Voice u hear, ask yourself why they are talking to u
here is a TIP if u have a headache from outside of the back of the head, that is a 6th sense warning of a possible pending danger (could be economic, could be life threatening). if there is a Pain in the front of the skull, that is 3rd eye type of stuff and that is known to occur AFTER someone has made a decision (is about to) that will change a pending future (assuming for good).
Be well during the remainder of the Purge of 2020-21 God Bless and take care
What a interesting ad
Tales are passed on and changed over time!!!
The quality of this video is not great.
@ 10:36 did he say "hermit monks" or "her McMonks.....same same?
At that time, crowned by combating is a right thing (same as Henry VII).
Macbeth ? I thought he was from Shakespeare play a figure of his imagination
I find the music too loud and irritating.
The background music is WAY too loud compared to the narrator. I might otherwise enjoyed this.
Why does it sound as if Tony was drowning?
😅
Macbeth - hot potato orchestra stalls puck will make amends (tweak nose)
Ahh, the number of Kings that took their thrones by force of arms far out number those who were the legal, hereditary Kings. Greed rules over all.
So true...and yet.....who the heck would want to be king (or queen) ? I'd have been much happier as a wealthy "nobody".
When you consider that MacBeth was succeeded by a bastard, traitor and double regicide - who gave rise to every Scottish King until the Union and every British monarch after.....
This history of my family has nothing to do with the play. Not really I mean there were a couple of people who were alive then from the play but it wasn't taken directly from Shakespeare.
The very vicked Lady was better for the play! And she was nothing of that, well, well, well.....
Elizabeth I had just died, and James had ascended the throne. James was, of course, a Scot, so Shakespeare wrote Macbeth to appeal to him. Under Elizabeth, Shakespeare's women were generally good, strong, resolute, and charming. James was superstitious and had a real fear of witches; Macbeth is the only play that features them. Furthermore, (in the play) Macbeth's line dies with him, but after Banquo's murder, his son Fleance survives to sustain the line culminating in James.
Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends!!!!
I don't think Tony even goes to this guy's throat! Hahaha!
Perhaps the witch and the roll right stones and Kings men may have a twinkle of truth in it,lol
Shakespeare is doing a pyop on Scotts so Britain could conquer and slander the Scotts.
When Macbeth was written England, Wales Ireland and Scotland were ruled by a Scottish king
Since when has it been MacBeth?
Wish I could watch this but the audio quality is horrendous. Tried to watch thos documentary before on Timeline (noticed that most of your videos are directly ripped from them) and the audio was just as bad. The least that could have been done was fixing the audio *before* posting this again to your own channel.
Angelita...You don't have to watch it.. nobody is forcing you. You aren't paying for it. Why complain?
The Mesopotamian kings Enki etc etc are all wearing Ermine furs.
Baldrick = Instant like.
10:01 PreRaphaelite painter ?
0:09 =Wait, what? WTF? I thought all this time he's a historian...
THE SOUND IS CRAP.
Is that the 3 witches is heroine of macbeth ?
Hecate rides a wolf into battle n the rune stones of Got land and Sweden,the cross on the standing stones is Armenian.
Y Gododon poem.
people love darkness
I am stopping at 4 minutes in. The music is just too loud - what a shame.
This reminds me of The Twilight Zone hits history! :-)
I thought Shakespeare got his inspiration from history.
Je did, but tweaked it. Artistic freedom was practiced then as well.
...his story is more "compulsive"? I think he meant "compelling".
Macbeth should have also taken out Duncan's son...he shouldn't have stopped because as long as he was alive (as evident) he had an open enemy!!! And Duncan was no good for Scotland...
Ok...quite the same judgement...Shakeaspeare was playing a game of flattering the king....James I ...to keep his position in the society...the myth is no more....
