Nepos of Malcolm III?
Over at the article Scottish Monarchs Family Tree, they show Macbeth as 'nepos' of Malcolm II, not Malcolm III. This contradicts what is written here regarding context in 'Chronicles of Huntingdon'. Shouldn't this be changed? Who has read the Chronicles of Huntingdon and why should we suppose Macbeth was killed by his own Uncle/Grandfather who would have been born twenty years after him? 04:15, 02 May 2005

Lead image (or none)?
Script error: No such module "Multiple image".
This article currently does not have an image in the infobox. Earlier versions of the article used a portrait by Jacob de Wet II (listed here as Option 1). The image was removed with the reasoning that it is not historically accurate.
An image can be valuable, even if there are no contemporary portraits available. Later depictions are used in other articles about Medieval figures, such as Æthelred the Unready and Thomas Aquinas. According to MOS:LEADIMAGE, a lead image should be the type of image used in other works. Several sources about King Macbeth include the portrait by John Hall (listed here as Option 2).
Both the de Wet portrait and the Hall portrait are both reasonable depictions of Macbeth. I believe that the article should include an image in the infobox. However, others are against the inclusion of an anachronistic portrait. It would be nice to reach a consensus on whether or not to include an image. —Vigilant Cosmic Penguin (talk | contribs) 🐧 02:23, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Why are my edits reverted?
I added a source in my second edit, which was MacBeth and Clan Finley (leesofvirginia.org). So, I do not understand, as it is a proven historical fact, though I do know since that Wikipedia is heavily biased, so maybe someone has a bias against my family, or against Macbeth, which would be a part of my family, proven by a family tree & the source above.
