[PAR] [TLE] Raphael Holinshed [SEP] ) was an English chronicler, whose work, commonly known as "Holinshed's Chronicles", was one of the major sources used by William Shakespeare for a number of his plays. [PAR] [TLE] King Duncan [SEP] King Duncan is a fictional character in Shakespeare's "Macbeth."  He is the father of two youthful sons (Malcolm and Donalbain), and the victim of a well-plotted regicide in a power grab by his trusted captain Macbeth.  The origin of the character lies in a narrative of the historical Donnchad mac Crinain, King of Scots, in Raphael Holinshed's 1587 "The Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland," a history of Britain familiar to Shakespeare and his contemporaries.  Unlike Holinshed's incompetent King Duncan (who is credited in the narrative with a "feeble and slothful administration"), Shakespeare's King Duncan is crafted as a sensitive, insightful, and generous father-figure whose murder grieves Scotland and is accounted the cause of turmoil in the natural world.
