Why did Shakespeare make Richard III evil to please Queen Elizabeth?
Because Richard III fought a battle with Elizabeth's grandfather, Henry Tudor, in which Richard was killed (the Battle of Bosworth) and Henry took the crown as Henry VII. Richard was supposed to have been responsible for murdering the boy King Edward V and his little brother - the so-called Princes In The Tower. (Young Edward and his brother were the brothers of Elizabeth of York, Henry VII's wife). Therefore the Tudors hated Richard III and would be pleased with any propaganda against him. Shakespeare's play Richard III, helped to give Richard a bad name!

Who said my Kingdom for a sword?
This is quoted from King Richard III in the play of the same name; by William Shakespeare in the year 1592. Not one of his most famous plays among: Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar and Hamlet. It doesn't actually have much historical backing of some of the stuff that is brought up, from the time of King Richard III 1483-1485. In my opinion the play 'King Richard III' is propaganda; it's a unfair view of the ruler, although the play is regarded as a history; I hope this as answered your question and given you a strong view on it :)
