Yes, Shakespeare's Richard is hard to belive, but Equally so is Penman's, who is too much a victim of circumstance and overzealous followers. I Can not Believe That One of the King's followers would kill the Prince's without his knowledge or desire, unless he was very weak or very stupid. All of the other murders are protrayed as accidents Which Richard ment as well. On the other hand, most of the writing was good and you can really get into the story.
