Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death.

Shakespeare's Richard III is a play which does deal in a rough way with the reign of the English king. However, some of the events depicted may not have happened at all, and others are doubtful. And as is usual with plays based on historic events, the events have been collapsed so the events of years look like they took place at the same time. The play should not be considered a reliable biography of Richard III.
