Detailed explanation-1: -The captain informs them that the Norwegian army rides to fight the Poles. Hamlet asks about the basis of the conflict, and the man tells him that the armies will fight over “a little patch of land / That hath in it no profit but the name” (IV. iv. 98–99).
Detailed explanation-2: -He questions a captain and learns that the Norwegians plan to wage war over a worthless patch of land in Poland. Hamlet lingers behind Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to reflect on the fact that these Norwegians and Poles are willing to die over land worth virtually nothing to anyone.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. He adds that young Fortinbras “Of unimproved mettle hot and full” (1.1. 96) is massing an army to win back the land that King Hamlet had taken.
