A tragic hero is the protagonist of a tragedy in drama.
 In his "Poetics", Aristotle records the descriptions of the tragic hero to the playwright and strictly defines the place that the tragic hero must play and the kind of man he must be.
 Aristotle based his observations on previous dramas.
 Many of the most famous instances of tragic heroes appear in Greek literature, most notably the works of Sophocles and Euripides.
Holinshed's Chronicles, also known as Holinshed's Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland, is a collaborative work published in several volumes and two editions, the first in 1577, and the second in 1587.

 In the end, he regains the throne after mustering support to overthrow Macbeth.

A Germanic hero is the protagonist of certain works of early medieval literature mostly in Germanic languages.
 This hero is always a warrior, concerned both with his reputation and fame, and with his political responsibilities.
 The way in which he "copes with the blows of fate" is extremely important.
 He may be distinguished from the classical hero in that his adventures are less individualistic, and from the tragic hero because his death is heroic rather than tragic.
 His death usually brings destruction, not restoration, as in tragedy.
 His goal is frequently revenge, "hamartia" in a tragic hero.
 The historical era with which the Germanic heroes of the literature are associated in legend is called the Germanic Heroic Age.
King Duncan is a fictional character in Shakespeare's "Macbeth."
 He is the father of two youthful sons (Malcolm and Donalbain), and the victim of a well-plotted regicide in a power grab by his trusted captain Macbeth.
 The origin of the character lies in a narrative of the historical Donnchad mac Crinain, King of Scots, in Raphael Holinshed's 1587 "The Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland," a history of Britain familiar to Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
 Unlike Holinshed's incompetent King Duncan (who is credited in the narrative with a "feeble and slothful administration"), Shakespeare's King Duncan is crafted as a sensitive, insightful, and generous father-figure whose murder grieves Scotland and is accounted the cause of turmoil in the natural world.
Lord Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, is the title character and titular main protagonist turned primary antagonist of William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" (c. 1603–1607).
 The character is based on the historical king Macbeth of Scotland, and is derived largely from the account in "Holinshed's Chronicles" (1587), a history of Britain.
