The brave Thane of Glamis, in the battle against the Thane of Cawdor (Macdonwald), and his evil men in a bloody massacre on the shores of the sea. Recently General Macbeth and Banquo led men against the rebels of Macdonwald. When it looked like the battle was finished, the traitor, Macdonwald, came to the aid of the rebels outnumbering Macbeth’s men. One wounded soldier said, “that the great Macbeth and Banquo fight together just as two swimmers cling to each other just for survival." Another witness said that Macbeth sliced the King of Norway from naval to jaw. 

Later after the battle, the king arrived to bring the Thane of Cawdor back to the kingdom for trial. He was tried for treason in the first degree. He was sentenced to be hanged for betraying his country. Later in, Duncan’s castle, he pronounced Macbeth's succession to the role of the Thane of Cawdor.
