He also set Cardinal Moreton to burn the royal library, or those parts of it that didn't suit the image he wanted to convey. Moreton created the image of the hunchback, spiteful King Richard, taught his pupil, Thomas More, who passed that image to Shakespeare. Henry was very aware of image, and Moreton carried that on, as did Cromwell in the reign of Henry VIII. don't forget, although he was only king for two years, Richard started the reform of the legal system. Henry provided the stability the country needed to develop as an economic power in Europe.lynneconnollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687025766573756077noreply@blogger.com
