As far as “Macbeth” is concerned, I think he confused it with “Richard III,” where Richard has the two sons of his brother, Edward IV, murdered while in Richard’s custody.

one of the reasons I’ve learned so much on this board is I’ve never been afraid to admit when I don’t know something.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I still have to read both and Hamlet. If I did read them, I don’t remember a darn thing.

Macbeth sends murderers to Macduff's castle, where they kill his wife and young son.

The killing of the MacDuff kid in Macbeth, which occurs on-stage, with a sword. "he has killed me, mother"
