Fortinbras / ˈ f ɔːr t ɪ n b r æ s / is a minor fictional character from William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet. A Norwegian crown prince with a few brief scenes in the play , he delivers the final lines that represent a hopeful future for the monarchy of Denmark and its subjects.
Within Hamlet, the stories of five murdered fathers' sons are told: Hamlet, Laertes, Fortinbras, Pyrrhus, and Brutus. Each of them faces the question of revenge in a different way. For example, Laertes moves quickly to be "avenged most throughly of [his] father", while Fortinbras attacks Poland, rather than the guilty Denmark.
Hamlet and Fortinbras both have plans that are thwarted by uncles that are also kings. Hamlet, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Osric and Polonius are all courtiers. Hamlet, his father, Bernardo, Marcellus, Francisco, Fortinbras and several other characters are all soldiers. Hamlet and his father share a name (as do Fortinbras and his father).

Fortinbras's father had been killed THIRTY YEARS earlier by old King Hamlet, who is now dead.
