Shakespear was a great artist - but a Tudor lacky - and very BAD historian.

Ya know -- relying on Shakespeare to provide history is like relying on Michael Moore to screen a valid documentary.

I’m sure that if he’d written his “histories” any differently, we wouldn’t have ANY of his subsequent plays.

Well, Shakespeare was a writer and entertainer. To pack ‘em in, he had to tell his stories the way the Tudors liked to hear it. :-))
