Banquo

Banquo was a character in William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Robert Dodds considered his role as Banquo his greatest accomplishment; most though he was a poor actor. He named his manor Banquo Manor after the character. Two plaques bearing inscriptions from the play adorned the manor, one in the drawing room and a second in the study; however the second was removed some time before 1898.

He was reciting lines from the play when his cousin, Pamela, murdered him. (EDA: The Banquo Legacy)
