Talk:Banquo

message: In Dorothy Dunnett's novel King Hereafter Lulach (who represents the voice of confused history) refers to Abbot Crinan as banqueris, in reference to his tax-collecting and coining. This is presumably meant to suggest Banquo. While I'm not sold on the idea of Crinan as Banquo, is there any evidence for the theory that it was a title, meaning "banker", rather than a name?

thread_title: Banker?

message: In the Chronicles, Banquo is an accomplice in Macbeth's murder.  I don't have Holinshed to hand, but does this mean "murder of King Duncan", or "the murder of Macbeth" (which is what it looks like as written), or should it be "murders" rather than "murder", if Banquo participated in more than one of the murders committed by Macbeth?  Inquiring minds - and GA reviewers, quite likely - would like to know. --GuillaumeTell (talk) 22:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  ambiguous statement in Source para 

message: This is an excellent article little article.  As far as the criteria goes, it's well written, factually accurate, broad enough in its coverage, definitely neutral and stable, and both of the images are correctly tagged and from the commons.  I have a couple suggestions, but this is surely ready for GA-class:
*However, in Chronicles Banquo is an accomplice to Macbeth: needs a comma, but perhaps it would be less awkward if it were reworded to say, "In Chronicles, however, Banquo..."?

replies: text: *Don't worry, I won't let a few dashes keep the article away from GA-class; it's such a silly, picky thing, but rather than going back and manually replacing all page range dashes with the proper en dash, you could save yourself the eyestrain and ask Brighterorange to run his dashbot for you. :) María (habla conmigo) 21:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Second GAC review 

message: I thought it was pretty clear that Banquo is an unhistorical character (unlike some characters in Macbeth) and the Stewarts are of Breton ancestry see e.g. Flaad.  Can somebody give me a source for 9 generations separating Banquo and King James?  9 generations back from James only takes us back to Walter Stewart (who married Marjorie Bruce, Robert's daughter) even in Shakespeare's day they would have known that.  This may be confusion with the number of kings who appear in the vision.  Is there a source that Banquo was thane of Lochaber (real or fictional)?  With these problems, dare I say it, does the article meet GA criteria? PatGallacher (talk) 13:03, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what you mean. The article states that whether Banquo actually existed is in question. Wrad (talk) 22:05, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
