Shakespeare had already made a contribution to the popular History genre with his three Henry VI plays. (Possibly he may have written Edward III as well, but we'll leave that up for debate) In the last Henry VI play he created the character of Gloster, the man who will become Richard III. It was a reasonable progression to carry on and tell Richard's story, since the Gloster character was so vibrant.

Is Richard 3 the most successful play in Shakespeare?
While "Richard III" is a significant and well-regarded play in Shakespeare's oeuvre, labeling it as the most successful is subjective. It is celebrated for its complex characters, particularly the charismatic and manipulative Richard, as well as its exploration of ambition and power. However, other plays like "Hamlet," "Macbeth," and "Romeo and Juliet" often receive more acclaim and have had a broader cultural impact. Ultimately, success can be measured in various ways, including popularity, critical reception, and influence, making it hard to definitively crown one play as the most successful.
