James I and William Shakespeare's Macbeth In 1606, William Shakespeare was commissioned to write a play for King James I. The play was to be performed at Hampton court while James I was entertaining his brother in law king Christian of Denmark. Shakespeare wrote 'Macbeth' for the occasion. It was not a new story. Shakespeare found it in 'The history of Scotland' by Raphael Hollinshead, but Shakespeare's play is far more than a dramatic rewrite of historical facts

I have just completed writing my new play titled “Macbeth” for King James I, but may I warn you of my play’s dark name. This play is my darkest play I have ever written yet. Darker than Hamlet or King Lear. Although, I will not spoil its plot. But I will add, King James I is oh so obsessed with witchcraft and I have incorporated that to please his likings.
