Macdonwall
The Scottish traitor, Macdonwald.
The traitor of King Duncan was Macbeth, who was the one who ordered his execution in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Lady Macbeth and Macbeth conspired to murder King Duncan in order to seize power.
The traitor in act one of Macbeth is the Thane of Cawdor, who is found guilty of treason and executed for betraying Scotland. This betrayal sets the stage for how treachery and ambition will play out in the rest of the play, ultimately leading to Macbeth's own downfall.
The Thane of Cawdor
MacDonwald the Thane of Cawdor(Whoops! Macbeth does, in fact, disembowel and decapitate Macdonwald, but Macdonwald is not the Thane of Cawdor.)
There were two of them: Macdonweald and the Thane of Cawdor.
The murderer calls Macduff a traitor because Macduff has fled to join Malcolm, the rightful heir to the throne, in trying to overthrow Macbeth. Macbeth sees Macduff's actions as a betrayal of their previous loyalty to him as king.
The bloody sergeant tells the king that Macbeth killed the traitor Macdonwald by unseaming him from the navel to the jawbone. This vivid description highlights Macbeth's skill and brutality in battle, setting the tone for his character in the play.
At the beginning of the play in act 1 the Thane of Cawdor (the earlier one, not Macbeth) is a traitor, and also a guy called Macdonweald whom Macbeth defeats.
He gives him the title thane of Cawdor since the other Cawdor was a traitor
The Thane of Cawdor in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth" was a traitor who was executed for treason. King Duncan then gives Macbeth the title of Thane of Cawdor as a reward for his bravery in battle.
Through the bleeding Captain's report to King Duncan I (d. August 14, 1040) of Scotland the absent Macbeth was introduced to readers and viewers of the Shakespearean play in Act 1 Scene 2.Specifically, the Captain told of Macbeth courageously hacking his way through the overwhelming numbers of invading Norwegians and rebellious Scotsmen. He spoke of Macbeth's going straight for one of the leaders, Macdonwald the treacherous Scotsman. With the traitor's beheading, Macbeth reversed what seemed the makings of a humiliating defeat into clear victory for king and country.
