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.
William Shakespeare
Richard Shakespeare, the grandfather of William Shakespeare, died around the 10th February 1561. Nobody knows the exact day of his death due to poor records, but it is believed to be the 10th. Richard Shakespeare was also the name of William Shakespeare's brother, who was buried on 4th February 1613.

None of Shakespeare's friends is as famous as he is. Back then, though, his friend Richard Burbage was much more famous than Shakespeare was.
