> But getting back to the contention of it being propaganda..Josephine Tey does a very good take on the whole Shakespeare writing to please Elizabeth I concept. It is in A Thief in Time (Thief of Time - not sure which). Her contention is that Richard did not limp have a hump or lisp. Nor did he have the princes wacked. She does a pretty good job of defending her thesis.

It’s [The Daughter of Time](http://www.amazon.com/Daughter-Time-Josephine-Tey/dp/0684803860/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304917435&sr=8-1). And I agree.
