Why did Elizabeth 1 not like Richard 3?
Elizabeth was born long after Richard had been killed by her grandfather, and so did not harbour any personal animosity. However, the official position of the Tudors was very anti-Richard since the claim of Henry VII (the grandfather I spoke of) was extremely flimsy, being based on being descended from one of John of Gaunt's illegitimate children (subsequently legitimized very conveniently for the Tudors) and Henry V's widow. Richard's claim to the throne was considerably better, so it suited their purposes to make him out to be the most horrific monster imaginable.

That depends on your definition of greed.
After the death of his brother Edward, Richard was made regent and protector of his nephews, Edward and Richard. However, shortly afterward, Richard III had declared that his brother's wedding was invalid and his sons were bastards, taking them out of the line for the throne, and making himself King. That may seem like greed but, in the English court, it was rather par of the course. Richard's older brother George, the middle child of the three, sided with anyone and everyone who he thought might get Edward out and put him on the throne. King Edward's own advisors turned on him the moment he started favoring families other than their own. The one thing that can be said for the Yorks and Lancasters was that they were ALL greedy for the throne.
Richard III was widely disliked by his sister-in-law's family, the Woodvilles. Richard first began his climb to the throne by having them killed, in that case it was a kill or be killed situation. He feared what a boy-king would do to the country which was why his nephews were locked in the tower out of the way, but when he eventually came to the point of declaring himself king it is fair to say that he had been overcome by greed although this was not his initial intention from the start.
