According to one account, the Fifth Doctor met with William Shakespeare for a drink this year. Shakespeare then stowed away on the TARDIS, which journeyed back to the time of Richard III. Shakespeare attempted to meddle with history, so as to make Richard more like the hero of Shakespeare's play, Richard III. Shakespeare died at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 in Richard's place. Richard then returned with the Doctor to 1597, where he assumed the identity of Shakespeare. Thus, according to this view of history, much of what was later known as a work of Shakespeare, was actually written by Richard III. (BFA: The Kingmaker)
