    (HENRY){STEWART} = Albany, King Hamlet, Duncan/Banquo

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Stuart,_Lord_Darnley

    <<(HENRY){STEWART}, Duke of Albany (7 December 1545 – 10 February 1567), was king consort of Scotland from 1565 until his murder at Kirk o' Field in 1567. Many contemporary narratives describing his life and death refer to him as Lord [DARNLE]y, his
    title as heir apparent to the Earldom of Lennox, and it is by this appellation that he is now generally known. He was the second but eldest surviving son of Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox. He was a first cousin and the 2nd husband of Mary, Queen of
    Scots, and was the father of her son James I.>> -----------------------------------------------------------
    <<Fulke Greville lived in Warwick Castle on
    the River Avon and his family's crest was a *SWAN*.

    He frequented Mistress Quyney's Stratford tavern
    (and the Bear and the *SWAN*).>> ---------------------------------------------------
