Best Answer

Nobody can be exactly sure which plays were written when, or what order they were written in. There are some clues which usually tell us that a certain play must have been written before a certain date, when it was seen by someone, or put in the Stationer's Register, or commented on, or printed in book form. But these clues give us only a date before which the play must have been written, not the date it was written on.

Scholars have put together many lists of the order in which Shakespeare's plays were written. They are all different from each other. There is no way to know which if any is right, or which was Shakespeare's first, second, third or last play.

Richard III was not evil. He had strong, legitimate claim to the throne and took it. Points to make: 1. If this relates to the play by Shakespeare: the playwright to poetic lisence and not everything he wrote is true 2. If this has to do with the Princes in the Tower, there is no evidence he had anything to do with their disappearance.
