(I have no idea how to copy stuff as a link. I'm not technologically gifted.)
This is a link to the Wikipedia page about Elizabethan England. Not only is it super interesting, but it could provide some helpful background to what Macbeth pulls from.

This is also a link to a Wikipedia page, this one about James I. Preston was talking about him in class and how the play takes a lot from the king's life, so I thought this might be good to read about. (Also, for anyone else who's a history buff, James I is the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, who was the cousin of Elizabeth I, daughter of the infamous Henry VIII. You know, the one with six wives? Just fyi)

This site calls itself a "Macbeth study guide." Just good for clearing any confusion up.
