Yes, Lady Macbeth (b. c. 1015) had children. No child actually made an appearance in the Shakespearean play. But Macbeth's Lady referred to a child, in Act 1 Scene 7 Lines 54-55.
That reference was indeed accurate, according to genealogical and historical records. Gruoch ingen Boite was married twice. Her first husband was Gille Coemgain (d. 1032), who may have been responsible for the murder of Macbeth's father, Findlaech mac Ruaidri (d. 1020). From that first marriage, she had at least one known child, Lulach macGille Coemgain.
Gruoch then took as her second husband Macbeth (c. 1014-August 15, 1057), and came to be called Gruoch, Lady Macbeth. She had no known children from her second marriage. As Queen Gruoch's only child and son, the subsequent King Lulach (d. March 17, 1058) therefore succeeded his stepfather, Macbeth, as King of Scotland.

∙ 12y agoNo Lady Macbeth did not have any children at all. And i don't think she would be capable of caring for them even if she did because her relationship with Macbeth was balanced.
