Detailed explanation-1: -Fortinbras is also the name of the former king of Norway and father of the crown prince Fortinbras. King Fortinbras was slain in the play’s antecedent action in a duel with King Hamlet. The duel between the two is described by Horatio in Act One, Scene One (I, i) of the play.
Detailed explanation-2: -After the Ghost vanishes, Horatio explains that King Hamlet (Prince Hamlet’s father) had slain King Fortinbras of Norway in combat and reclaimed land for Denmark.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fortinbras is the nephew of the King of Norway. Although we hear his name mentioned in the play’s first and second acts, Fortinbras doesn’t appear onstage until the final moments of the play.
Detailed explanation-4: -Denmark has a long history with Norway and the old King Hamlet killed the old King Norway, leaving Prince Fortinbras of Norway angry and vengeful. Claudius does what he can to keep a tremulous peace between the two nations. Hamlet feigns madness in front of Claudius, Polonius, and his own mother.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hamlet dies as Fortinbras enters the room, leaving Horatio behind to tell the story of everything that had happened in the play. Fortinbras presumably becomes King of Denmark, since there isn’t really anybody to stop him from receiving the throne. Fortinbras (Rufus Sewell) crowned king.
