In Act IV Scene 1 Macbeth, having just heard that Macduff has escaped to England says, "The castle of Macduff I will surprise; seize upon Fife; give to the edge o' the sword his wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls that trace him in his line." In the next scene we see this happening. Of course Macbeth himself is not there personally; it is his hired murderers who kill everyone in Macduff's family. Fife is the town where Macduff's castle is, since he is Thane of Fife.
