In short? Shakespeare's history is biased, yeah, but in this case outright fiction.

Uh, Shakespeare's plays *are* fiction. That's kind of the point.

Ricardians are some of the most tedious people in Britain.

As for Shakespeare, I cast a sympathy vote for Romeo and Juliet, which is IMO paradoxically underrated due to its status in popular culture.

Hamlet is probably the best objectively, despite the plot being a complete mess.
