Voltimand and Cornelius sent news from Norway that the elderly and ill monarch, who is the brother of the murdered King Fortinbras, was able to prevent his nephew, young Fortinbras, from attacking Denmark.
When Gertrude mocks Polonius' suggestions as he walks away, She is still convinced that the old king's passing and her quick remarriage are to blame for Hamlet's problems. Voltemand and Cornelius, two ambassadors, are brought back by Polonius. They send word from Norway that the elderly and ill monarch, who is the brother of the murdered King Fortinbras, was able to prevent his nephew, young Fortinbras, from attacking Denmark. However, in exchange, the elderly man requests that Denmark aid Fortinbras' war against Poland and that Claudius permit Fortinbras to travel through Denmark on his way to Poland.
Thus, Fortinbras, according to the news by Voltemand, will abandon his planned attack on Norway in favor of a strike against Poland. But at some time he will have to go via Denmark.
