RE: ADSactly History - Wrongfully Maligned Figures in History (Part 1)

I wouldn't take Shakespeare as accurate historical facts either ;) He was a man of his time, he lived in a world where, much like today, information was very important and heavily used upon to sway public opinion. And besides, you could just go and say that Richard III or whoever else was a dick, but it was a lot more convincing to have this whole little show, it helped the idea stay in people's minds.
Thank you for reading! :)
