According to the play by William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616], Macbeth died on the battlefield outside Dunsinane Castle. According to historical records, Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] may have died, or been mortally wounded, in the battle at Lumphanan. If mortally wounded, he may have died a few days later in Scone. Either way, he was buried in the royal burial grounds on the island of Iona, off the western coast of Scotland. Ironically, that also was the final resting place of his predecessor, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Neither did the play agree with the historic records as to who killed Macbeth. According to the play, it was Macduff. According to the historic record, it was King Duncan's son, the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093].
The Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' opened with the meeting of the three witches. They planned to meet Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] on the heath. They decided that the meeting needed to take place after the loss of the battle by some and the winning of the battle by others. They interpreted that time as being before sunset.
The witches disappear after the battle in Scotland is over, as their prophecies have been fulfilled. They typically vanish into thin air or fade away into the mist, leaving their exact whereabouts unknown.
Macbeth
In Act 1 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, readers and viewers learn of the witches' intent to meet with Macbeth (c. 1014 - August 15, 1057). In Scene 3, they learn why the witches plan the meeting. The witches make contact with Macbeth to bring about his downfall.Specifically, the witches present Macbeth with predictions of his position as Thane of Glamis, which he already holds; and as Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland, which he considers impossible, powerful, wealthy dreams. But then the noble Scotsmen Angus and Ross let Macbeth know that Cawdor is disgraced and Macbeth is the choice recipient per King Duncan I (d. August 14, 1040) of the Thane's title and possessions. That makes Macbeth feel destined to be King.The question that Macbeth then needs to resolve is the following: Will the crown just fall into his lap, or must he do something?
The noblemen meet Malcolm at Birnam Wood, near Dunsinane Castle. This meeting takes place as part of their plan to overthrow Macbeth and restore order to Scotland.
The first appearance of fellow Generals and friends Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and Banquo in the Shakespearean play took place in Act 1 Scene 3. They already were together when the scene opened. They were walking across the heath after having fought and won a difficult, bloodied battle.

The three witches in Shakespeare's play Macbeth predict that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland, and that Banquo's descendants will become kings. Many get confused and think that one of the predictions is that Macbeth will become Thane of Glamis. However this is not a prediction; when the witches meet Macbeth, he is already Thane of Glamis. They also predicted that they would kill him and rape him
