Biography:**

Fleance is Banquo's only son. If the witches' prediction is true, then Fleance will become king; Macbeth feels threatened by this and orders both Fleance and Banquo to be killed by murderers. The murderers are able to kill Banquo, (by stabbing him repeatedly in the head) but Fleance escapes. After Fleance escapes, he is not mentioned any more and there is no word of him or where he might have gone to. The fourth apparition showed that Banquo's descendents would be kings for many future generations, even though at the end of the play it is Malcolm who becomes King instead of Fleance.
