In the play 'Macbeth', a nobleman of Scotland held a certain title. That title was 'thane'. For example, Macbeth started out as the Thane of Glamis. With the death of a noble Scotsman who was deemed traitorous to the King of Scotland, he also became the Thane of Cawdor. At the end of the play, English influences accompanied English help in overthrowing and killing Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057]. One such influence was the announcement by the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] that all noblemen of Scotland henceforth would be called by the English title of earl.

Who is the traitor whom Macbeth killed in battle?
We have to distinguish here between being a traitor to Scotland and being a traitor to the king. Macbeth is certainly a traitor to his king by murdering him. But is he a traitor to Scotland? Perhaps in the sense that the atmosphere of unease and paranoia he creates with his own unease and paranoia does Scotland no good. However, look closely at Malcolm. Malcolm invades Scotland with an English army, and his closest confidant is Siward, an Englishman. His first act as king is to abolish the Scottish title of Thane and set up the English one of Earl. Culturally and politically he is betraying Scotland to the English.
