The King of Norway himself had come with his army along with the biggest traitor ever: Thane of Cawdor.
Although the King of Norway was well-outfitted with support, Macbeth stood his ground, as if he was the Ancient Roman Goddess of War’s (Bellona’s) husband.
Bellona, by Rembrandt van Rijn
The ‘castle’ in the time of the historical Macbeth was probably a predecessor of the Moat and Bailey design.
Note also that this passage is explicitly equating Macbeth with the Norwegian king, and praising his “rebellious arm.” That’s fairly perverse, given that it takes place in the same scene where Duncan has just spent a fair amount of time tearing down Macdonwald for his rebellion.
With the Thane of cawdor being a traitor and Macbeth becoming the Thane of Cawdor it forshodows that he will betray the king in some way.

It may also be noted that by being the husband of Bellona, the Roman Goddess of War, he is presented as much more superior to that of a God- which is later juxtaposed by the description ‘dead butcher.’
