Think Shakespeare was mainly influenced by Thomas More's account of Richard's hunchback. It was a fairly typical smear of the time to exaggerate or completely fabricate deformities to suggest that someone's inner evil manifested itself also in their body. It happened for a long time with Anne Boleyn that she would have deformities exaggerated to make out she was a lot more ugly than she actually was
