The story

In the Middle Ages, a Norwegian and Irish invasion of Scotland aided by the traitorous Thane of Cawdor, is suppressed by Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, and Banquo. Cawdor is sentenced to death by King Duncan who decrees that Macbeth shall be awarded his title. Macbeth and Banquo do not hear of this news; when out riding, they happen upon Three Witches, who hail Macbeth as "Thane of Cawdor and future King", and Banquo as "lesser and greater".
