At the end of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Scotland was at war with England. The first act had begun with the defensive war of Scotland under King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] against invading Norwegians and traitorous Scotsmen. So too did the last act begin with the defensive war of Scotland under Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] against invading Englishmen and discontented Scotsmen.

∙ 14y agoYes, the play ended with an invasion of Scotland. When their father, King Duncan, died, Donalbain fled to Ireland, and Malcolm to England. Nothing further was heard of Donalbain. But the King had made Malcolm his heir apparent, as Prince of Cumberland [Act 1 Scene 4]. And so Malcolm merged discontented Scotsmen into an English army to cross the border and take back his throne from Macbeth.
