54 Ralf Hertel did it resurface in the Tudor chronicles and, not least, in Shakespeare’s history plays? Being aware that it took literary criticism around four centuries to establish the relation between Shakespeare’s histories and their sources and that some disputes are not likely ever to be settled, and with only limited space at my disposal, I do not intend to enter into this sophisticated discussion but would rather like to focus on one particular detail. I will limit myself in the following to a study of Shakespeare’s Richard III, a play which was not only influenced by the Anglica Historia and its rewritings in the Tudor chronicles but which presents events crucial to the re-nationalisation of English history.

XVII. 3), which constitutes the final day of Boccaccio’s mercantile epic, what are we to make of the Canticus in relation to such a politicized interpretation? It is possible that the ‘wyndes two / That in contrarie stonden evere mo’ are translated out of the Petrarchan psychomachia and resituated within a political discourse: one blows towards Florence, the other towards Milan. Yet it is not entirely possible to declare that Chaucer prefers one over the other, at least not in relation to the Canticus and its context.

62). 56 Ralf Hertel number of roles the drama therefore does not represent a cross-section of the English nation at the time of Richard III. What it does represent, however, is disunity. There are so many warring factions, so many protagonists interpreting history their own way, and so much scheming that it is difficult not to get lost in the intricate web of intrigues. In other words, the spectator or reader of the play is bound to experience the political confusion of Richard’s short reign and the final phase of the Wars of the Roses through his own irritation towards the play’s complex alliances.
