The Education of Richard

I was wondering about Richard's education.

What set me off was Seward's sneering at Richard with the "no Greek,
little Latin" label (yes I am well aware who else was given that
description).

Now we have heard that he spent part of his childhood at the Earl of
Warwick's establishment and learnt the skills of the soldier but I am
wondering about the more academic side.

Is there any ideas who his tutor or tutors were. Whoever they were
could have influence on how Richard view the world.

Certainly he seen to be a cultured man eg his collection of books,
his love of music.

I have read that he spent his early years at Ludlow and Fotheringhay, presumably with monk tutors
