There were two sets of rebel forces. One, consisting of Macdonweald and some kerns and gallowglasses from Ireland and Norwegian troops, was defeated by Macbeth and Banquo near Forres. This battle is reported by the bloody sergeant. Malcolm had also been in the battle, because he says that the sergeant saved him.

The second battle took place at Fife and is reported by the Thane of Ross. The invaders consisted of Sweno, king of Norway and that most disloyal traitor the Thane of Cawdor. It is not stated which Scottish lord defeated them; he is only described as Bellona's bridegroom.

However, it could not be Macbeth who defeated Sweno because:

1. He was fighting a battle at Forres at the time and could not also have been two hundred miles away at Fife.

2. If Macbeth had captured the Thane of Cawdor he would have known him to have been a traitor, and he didn't. ("The Thane of Cawdor is a worthy gentleman. Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?")

The Scottish general at Fife may have been Macduff, Thane of Fife.
