Of course they did.  History has always been written by whoever won the battle.  

The trick lies in researching *around* the lie.  Henry Tudor's propagandists and, later, the Bard himself, would have us believe Richard III was a hunchback.  Until you get a look at his armor, which has been preserved for posterity.  Or read accounts of his actions in battle.  :-)
