Macbeth and the Gunpowder Plot

Macbeth was a person who lived in the 11th century in Scotland. He reigned as king of Alba for about 17 years with a very rather peaceful reign. Macbeth renames things to Earl's and he's using like the title that's used in England because the English have aided him. There are references throughout the work to the gunpowder plot, which occurred in 1605.
