Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet was the heir to the throne but his uncle, Claudius, has managed to usurp him.
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius, Hamlet’s uncle, married Hamlet’s recently-widowed mother, becoming the new King of Denmark.
Detailed explanation-3: -He comes in as Hamlet is dying from the poison & his stab wound. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -He intends to revenge his father, Old Fortinbras, who was killed in a duel with Old Hamlet and thereby lost some Norwegian lands to Denmark. Restrained from doing so by his uncle the king of Norway, he invades Poland instead, to capture a useless little plot of land.
