Shakespeare wrote during the reign of Elizabeth I, granddaughter of Henry VII. I don’t think it would have helped Shakespeare’s career by writing the Elizabeth’s family came to the throne through illegitimate means. The worse Richard III looked, the better for the Tutors, grandfather or granddaughter.
