There were two of them: Macdonweald and the Thane of Cawdor.
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 two leaders who led Duncan's troops against the traitor Macdonwald were Macbeth and Banquo. They showed great bravery and skill in battle, ultimately defeating Macdonwald and securing victory for Duncan's forces.
Macbeth is leading the revolt against King Duncan in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth."
he served loyal to Duncan in many battles and act 1 scene 2 he has killed Macdonwald and conquered the armies of the king of Norway and the scottish traitor the thane of Cawdor
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.
He gives him the title thane of Cawdor since the other Cawdor was a traitor
"This castle hath a pleasant seat. The air sweetly and nimbly commends itself to our senses." What a nice house! (But he doesn't know he will die because of going there.)"Herein I teach you how you shall bid God'ild you for your pains, and thank us for your trouble." Duncan has basically said, "The party is at Macbeth's place in Inverness!" without consulting the Macbeths first. Now the Macbeths are put to the trouble of hosting the party. But it will be no trouble, says Duncan, it will be worth it. Well, that is what Lady Macbeth is thinking, but not for the reasons Duncan thinks.
Macbeth becomes Thane of Cawdor as recognition of his achievements in battle. We are told he killed the previous Thane of Cawdor, who was a traitor by "unseeming him from the nave to the chaps" - as such he inherits the traitors land and title
Yes. The Thane of Cawdor was killed, because he was a traitor to King Duncan. Macbeth becomes the new Thane of Cawdor.
The the traitors at the start of the play are a rebellion of Highlanders and Islanders, led by Macdonwald and Sweno, the king of Norway who was assissted by the Thane of Cawdor. King Duncan orders the execution of the Thane of Cawdor and hands his title to Macbeth as a reward.
No, the Thane of Cawdor didn't ally with Macbeth. In fact, Cawdor allied with the armies of King Sweno of Norway to invade Scotland. Macbeth allied with Scotland's King, Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Macbeth and his friend and fellow Captain Banquo managed to win the battle against the large force of invading Norwegians and traitorous Scotsmen.
In shakesperes story it is said that Macbeth killed him in his sleep but in reality historians believe he was killed (by Macbeth) during or shortly after the battle.
