Thane of Cawdor

Today was the battle, our battle, against two separate invading armies—one from Ireland, led by our rebel Macdonwald, and one from Norway. During the battle, Ross our noble Scottish man announced the news about the traitor, the Thane of Cawdor. He said that with the help of that disloyal traitor, the king of Norway began a bloody battle leading an enormous army. I am incredibly outraged at the Thane of Cawdor, how could he possibly betray me like that? I trusted him very much. It takes an honourable and faithful man to have the title as the Thane of Cawdor and yet he did not take that into consideration and instead he chose to take advantage of me and turn his back on me. How dare him! I will never forgive him for what he has done. And God shall punish him for his painful sin.

Also during the battle, a captain full of blood came to update me with the latest news about the revolt. He started off by telling me that, for a while it wasn’t clear to who would win, but then he ended it by saying that Macbeth split Macdonwald open from his navel to his jawbone and stuck his head on our castle walls. Oh how honoured I was to hear that news. Oh lord, bless brave Macbeth! I am so pleased to hear that our noble man Macbeth finally broke the enemy's spirit. He has shown manly hood and bravery. Macbeth has always been a close relative and has acted as an older brother to my sons, so I immediately told Ross to pronounce and give the title of Thane of Cawdor to the loyal and brave Macbeth and also to announce that the rebel, former Thane of Cawdor, will be executed.
