In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Lennox, Angus, Menteith, and Caithness are on the side of Malcolm and the Scottish nobles opposing Macbeth. They unite against Macbeth's tyranny and ambition, ultimately seeking to restore order to Scotland. Their allegiance reflects their discontent with Macbeth's rule and their desire for a legitimate king.
Malcolm plans to gather an army to challenge Macbeth's rule and reclaim the throne of Scotland. He aims to use a combination of military force and strategic alliances with other nobles to weaken Macbeth's position and ultimately overthrow him. Additionally, Malcolm seeks to gain public support by portraying himself as the rightful heir and a just ruler compared to Macbeth.
At the end of the play, Macduff, Malcolm, Siward, and other Scottish nobles organize to fight against Macbeth and his forces. They seek to overthrow Macbeth's tyrannical rule and restore rightful order to Scotland.
The three witches were first to hail Macbeth as Thane of Cawdor. They did so, in Act 1 Scene 3, before Macbeth knew of his acquisition of the title and lands. Immediately after the witches' predictions and disappearance, the nobles Angus and Ross officially deliver the news.
nobles
In Act IV of "Macbeth," hints of the gathering forces of opposition to Macbeth include Macduff's departure to seek help from Malcolm and other nobles to overthrow Macbeth, as well as the gathering of an army to challenge Macbeth's rule. Additionally, the witches' prophecies to Macbeth provide him with a false sense of security, leading him to underestimate the threat posed by the growing opposition against him.
Nobles
Sulthana had great opposition from the nobles. She could only rule for four years. Nobles did not want a women leader to rule the regin and so she was put to death in the year 1240.
During Macbeth's reign, Scotland experienced turmoil and instability characterized by tyranny and betrayal. Macbeth, having usurped the throne by murdering King Duncan, faced growing resistance from nobles and ultimately led the country into chaos. His rule was marked by paranoia and violence, resulting in a fractured kingdom plagued by fear and dissent. This turmoil set the stage for his eventual downfall and the restoration of rightful leadership.

You mean rich people? It's an aristocracy
Malcolm and Macduff now refer to Macbeth as a "tyrant" for his cruel and oppressive rule as king of Scotland.
