Detailed explanation-1: -Fleance is the son of Banquo. Macbeth sees him as a threat because of the weird sisters’ prophecy that Banquo’s descendants will rule Scotland one day. While Fleance is alive, Macbeth can never truly be sure of his security as king.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the 17th century historian Frederic van Bossen, Thane Banquo (which he wrote as Banqwho and sometimes as Banchou) was the son of Dunclina, the daughter of Albanach ap Crinan, the thane of the Isles, and her husband Kenneth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Banquo, a character in Macbeth, was a general in the army of King Duncan, a friend to Macbeth, and finally a father to Fleance.
