Birnam Wood signified the imminent defeat of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. In Act 4 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, the three witches identified three obstacles to the staying power of Macbeth's rule over Scotland. One was Macduff, whose entire family and household had been killed by Macbeth's royal command. Second was a man not born of woman. Third was the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle.

One of the witches' predictions had been the security of the life and reign of Macbeth as long as Birnam Wood didn't move to Dunsinane. But a combined force of Englishmen and Scotsmen were able to achieve that seemed impossibility. Their leaders were Malcolm, later King Malcolm III, the son of King Duncan I and his Uncle Siward, Earl of Northumberland. Malcolm suggested that each man cut and carry a bough for the march on Dunsinane Castle to hide the mass of their army. To those at the royal Castle, it looked as though the entire forest had become uprooted from Birnam Wood and was moving on Dunsinane.The army issued by Malcolm cuts down branches from Birnham Wood and uses them for cover as they approach Dunsinane Hill.
