Until the 1920's books and plays in Great Britain had to be submitted for the review of the Lord Chancellor before publication. Bacon had been Lord chancellor until the year before this book was written in 1622. Perhaps Frank was trying to get the job back? It's the official Tudor Party line on Richard III, and is a staple of Richardian Studies. Other than that it's a very modern Biography with some discussion of Henry VII with some warts admitted.

This is a major student edition of the text described as 'the first modern classic of English history'. Bacon's penetration into human motives, his life-long experience of politics and government, and his remarkable literary skills, render this History of the Reign of King Henry VII a major work of English literature and an important document in the history of political thought. The introduction places Bacon's History in the context of Renaissance historiography, revealing its debt to Tacitus, and shows Bacon's originality in re-ordering traditional material to make a coherent psychological analysis of the King's actions. In addition to the usual series features and supporting contextual material (including relevant Essays by Bacon), generous editorial footnotes explain the historical and political issues of the reign of Henry VII, and a substantial glossary clarifies Bacon's rich but sometimes unfamiliar vocabulary.
