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.

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.
