...
Sir Thomas More’s historical account of Richard III was the most trusted and respected account of that time period (Page 41). ... If More wrote during the time of Henry VIII, then he could not have been Richard III”s contemporary as well. ... More’s accounts were the source for Shakespeare when writing his play of Richard III (Page 79), which portrayed Richard as one of the most villainous creatures of all time. ... Together, Grant and Brent attacked one historical assumption after another about Richard III, each time coming to the conclusion that the characteristics attributed to Richard III were more assumption blunders than accurate facts. ... They also figured that Richard III wasn’t responsible for the murders of his nephews, and the evidence pointed toward Henry VII as the murderer (summed up on pages 199-200), as there was neither evidence that Richard was the murderer nor even any accusations in his time.
The Daughter of Time reveals that the story of Richard III is historically incorrect, but it grew into a legendary myth.
