Macbeth was told by 3 witches that "No man of woman born" would harm him.

Hamlet also says: "But to my mind--though I am native here,/And to the manner born--it is a custom/More honor'd in the the breach than the observance" (Hamlet I.iv.14ff).

To the manor born: being a member of the upper class.

Womban: womb, woman.
