Fleance appears in Shakespeare's Macbeth, whose son is he?
"Banquo visible to the audience from Macbeth's perspective, but invisible from the perspective of other characters. Television versions, however, have often taken the third approach of leaving Banquo invisible to viewers, thereby portraying Banquo's ghost as merely Macbeth's delusion. This approach is taken in the 1978 Thames TV production, Jack Gold's 1983 version for BBC Television Shakespeare, and in Penny Woolcock's 1997 ""Macbeth on the Estate"". ""Macbeth on the Estate"" largely dispensed with the supernatural in favour of the drug-crime driven realism of characters living on a Birmingham housing estate: except for the three ""weird"" (in the modern sense of"

In Orson Welles's film version of ""Macbeth"" (1948), Fleance is briefly seen again at the very end of the movie. He does not speak in this scene, but he has returned to Scotland with the army of Malcolm and Macduff, and is shown along with those hailing Malcolm as the"

Their son, Robert II, began the Stewart/Stuart line of kings in Scotland.
