The Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' began and ended with Scotland at war with Another Country. In Act 1 Scene 2, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] received the reports of victory for his rule and for Scotland against the seemingly overwhelming numbers of invading Norwegians and rebellious Scotsmen. So the play began with war between King Duncan I of Scotland and King Sweno [c. 1016-1035] of Norway. In Act 5 Scene 2, the 10,000 man strong army of Siward, Earl of Northumberland and General of the English forces, had crossed Scotland's border with northern England. They already were advancing towards Birnam Wood, as one stage on route to their final destination of Macbeth's royal residence at Dunsinane Castle. And so the play ended with war between King Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] of Scotland and Sainted King Edward the Confessor [c. 1003-January 5, 1066] of England.
