From early childhood Macbeth fought real-life treachery and murder to protect his birthright. He went on to successfully rule Alba from 1040 to 1057 during a turbulent period of disputed territories, Viking invasion, the birth of feudalism, and the rise to power of the Roman Church. Taylor and Murray offer a compelling portrait of a man about whom little is known for certain. They vividly evoke Macbeth's medieval Scotland, chronicle key battles, investigate the contentious royal bloodlines, and explore the evolution of the myth that was to follow one of Scotland's - and history's - most legendary and misunderstood figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeparate fact from fiction in the true story of Macbeth.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA compelling history lesson from Scotland's past.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by Luath Press, Scotland's leading independent publisher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEssential for Scottish history enthusiasts and legend followers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"g6c1DK\"\u003eCAMERON TAYLOR graduated from Aberdeen University in 1979 with a degree in History.
