Who killed Fortinbras's father in Hamlet?
Answer: D
Fortinbras's father, the elder Fortinbras of Norway, was killed by Hamlet's father, the old King Hamlet, in single combat, and the lands they staked were forfeit to Denmark. Prince Hamlet, Laertes and young Fortinbras were not the killers, so the key is Hamlet's father. In the play Old Hamlet fought Old Fortinbras, who had challenged him, and the winner claimed the lands staked, and Young Fortinbras now wants them back, which is why he marches through Denmark. Prince Hamlet and Laertes were not yet involved in that old duel.
