A number of the histories we have of the time are either unclear or are later emendations. The main tactical plan was to get naked, paint yourself blue, and run screaming at the enemy waving the biggest sword you could handle.

Holinshed's Chronicles describe the strategy used to defeat the Norwegian invasion of Fife alluded to in the Shakespeare play. According to Holinshed, the Norwegians defeated King Duncan and his son Malcolm in the field and so they retreated into a castle. The besieging Norwegians were ill-provided with food, but Duncan said that the besieged army would happily provide food for the Norwegian army. The infinitely stupid Norwegian king agreed, and so they all fell to and ate a feast of poisoned food which rendered them incapacitated. Macbeth rode in from the north and mopped up the survivors.

Did the battle between Scotland and Norway actually take place as depicted in Macbeth?

The battle between Scotland and Norway in Macbeth is based on historical events, specifically the Battle of Flodden in 1513. However, the play takes liberties with the actual historical details for dramatic purposes, such as the characters involved and the outcome of the battle. So while there was a real battle between Scotland and Norway, the events in Macbeth are not historically accurate.
