What was Macbeth's relationship with Gillecomgain like after Gillecomgain became the High Steward of Moray?
Greg responds...
Not good.
Makhasu writes...
What was Macbeth's relationship with Bodhe like after he became King in 1040? By 1057, neither he nor Luach seemed particularly fond of him.
Greg responds...
I think they were FOND of him, actually. Doesn't mean they agreed with him much.
Makhasu writes...
What was Demona's relationship with the people of Moray castle like? At Macbeth's coronation, those that were present cheered her on. How did they treat her over the next 17 years, and how did she react?
Greg responds...
Generally, pretty well. But there was probably some occasional tension.
Makhasu writes...
What happened to Duncan's wife? Was she alive when Duncan was killed?
Greg responds...
I'm not revealing this at this time.
Makhasu writes...
What was the relationship between Macbeth and Duncan like during the eight years that Duncan was king? By 1040, he seemed to trust Macbeth enough to go walking with him and his son.
Greg responds...
Barely.
Macbeth tried to demonstrate his loyalty. Duncan always regarded these attempts with suspicion.
Makhasu writes...
What did Gillecomgain think of being betrothed to marry Gruoch? Did he choose her, or was the arrangement purely on Duncan's orders?
Greg responds...
I think he saw the value of the alliance politically and economically.
Makhasu writes...
Did Luach have any children in the Gargoyles universe? Historically, he did. And his descendants tried to seize the throne in the 1100s.
Greg responds...
He did, yes.
Makhasu writes...
How did Canmore find out about Macbeth and Demona's link? How did those rumors get started?
Greg responds...
Think about it. Macbeth ages nearly twenty years in one night and suddenly has a gargoyle ally... Plus a few people knew about the "bargain" including Bodhe. Word was bound to get around. Not necessarily accurate word. But word.
Makhasu writes...
The Scottish people seemed pretty hateful/fearful towards gargoyles before Macbeth's reign. How was he able to change opinions and get people to accept Demona and her clan?
Greg responds...
Winners tend to get to make the rules. And the gargoyles helped the winning side win. So that went a LONG way toward reducing more OVERT prejudice.
Makhasu writes...
Did the English really care about exterminating Demona and her clan like Bodhe thought?
Greg responds...
It was only an excuse. They had larger political, religious and territorial concerns. (Not that they LIKED gargoyles.)
