In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] unexpectedly received the title and possessions of the disgraced Thane of Cawdor. In Act 1 Scene 3, the three witches told him that he'd be the Thane and then the King of Scotland. Neither one of those events seemed credible or realistic to the hardworking, practical General. Indeed, the conferring of both titles would have involved the cooperation of Macbeth's sovereign, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Cawdor alone was the source of a powerful title and prosperous properties. But the King may not have been one to share. For example, Macbeth's friend and fellow General Banquo received nothing other than a 'thank you' for his role in saving Scotland from overwhelming numbers of invading Norwegians and discontented Scotsmen. And so the receipt of Cawdor's title and possessions was what led Macbeth to accept the witches' predictions, what encouraged the raging ambition that the Macbeths shared in their marriage, and what drew Macbeth and his Lady down the bloodied path to taking and consolidating power.

According to King Duncan's son Malcolm, the Thane of Cawdor faced his death far better than he had led his life. He owned up to the error of his ways and sought pardon from the King. In fact, Malcolm went so far as to say that the Thane's only praiseworthy act in an apparently worthless life was his embracing death. He indeed seemed to put more value on the dying than on the chance at life that he was losing.
