That’s why I specified Shakespeare’s Richard 111. It was literally a slam job so that the bard could curry favor with Queen Bess.Funny as it is, that Richard III went down like a badass muddies my approval of this comparison a bit...
In the actual Game of Thrones then, Elizabeth the first was a direct descendant of Henry Tudor who took the throne from Richard.
Richard had one shoulder higher than the other, but was certainly not a hunchback with a limp.
He also probably didn’t kill his nephews in the tower, but if Bill had written that Richard was a handsome heroic chad king and her Grandfather’s usurpation was a tad illegal, then she would have been unamused.
Back then offending the Queen would mean beheading and a game of soccer with your bonce.
It is also apt as Keffals likes to invent stuff based on semi truths and present it as cast iron fact.
