Some historians and literary analysts believe that Shakespeare wrote Macbeth for King James I. The three "weird sisters" was most likely an influence of King James I dabbling in witchcraft and prophecies. Though its real origins came from the Holinshed's Chronicles, a story about the history of Scotland, England, and Ireland.
