In the witch's prophecy, Banquo is told that he will not be a king, but his sons will. This means that Macbeth will be king, but something will happen which prevents his bloodline from maintaining the throne, which will be taken by the bloodline of Banquo. In Macbeth's paranoia about maintaining the throne, he orders Banquo and his son killed, cutting off their bloodline and keeping them from usurping the throne from Macbeth. However, Fleance escapes, and while Malcolm takes the crown, it can be inferred that Fleance or one of his descendants take it from Malcolm or one of the later Kings.
