If any one here has seen the opening of Black adder 1 it say that history portrayed Richard III as an evil man who killed the princes, but he loved them and played games with them.
Whose not to say Black Adder was correct?

The Black Adder was set in an alternative history in which Richard III won the battle of Bosworth, only to be mistaken for someone else, murdered and then succeeded by Richard IV. It also makes jokes about people coming back from the Crusades, even though the crusades really finished a couple of hundred years earlier.
If The Black Adder got anything historically correct, it was entirely by accident.
