Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

Yeah, a lot of the politics behind Shakespeare's Macbeth (and also Hamlet) has a lot more to do with post-Tudor anxiety about how heads end up rolling when succession is not clearly spelled out than history. Except for the murder, Macbeth and Claudius would have had perfectly valid succession claims.

Starting in Shakespeare's time, we started getting more formalized rules of succession largely because dynastic succession for the Tudors and the War of the Roses was a clusterfuck of claims ranging from reasonable to clearly bullshit ("I never had sex with my wife")that ended up resolved on the battlefield and scaffold. It's not really a surprise that Shakespeare made the most of the succession struggles for drama, at least the ones he could write about without ending up on the scaffold himself. But a lot of the time, dynastic succession was a matter of picking the guy with the best army and rationalizing the fuck about it after the fact.
