Is Richard III by William Shakespeare a secondary or primary source?
It's more like a tertiary source. Shakespeare got his information from the secondary source Holinshed's History, which is based primarily on the earlier secondary source written by Polydore Vergil. The original primary source is probably the account attributed to Sir Thomas More, who, if he was the author, must have had the information from elsewhere, as he was an infant when the events of Richard's reign took place.
