Answered by maham237 @



Answer: He was from Scotland and obsessed with witchcraft and the supernatural

Explanation:

When King James I of England inherited the throne from Queen Elizabeth died in 1603, he started sponsoring Shakespeare's acting company, Lord Chamberlain’s Men who then changed their name to King's men as a result.

To show his appreciation, Shakespeare wrote the play Macbeth which is based in Scotland, King James' native land as well as including witchcraft in the play of which King James had an obsession with.

Indeed Shakespeare actually used some material from a book on witchcraft written by King James known as Daemonologie to source for materials in the play.
