Abbe De vere author of the royal dragon court inbred britain

abbe de vere author 

My first book as an author is presented as part of the Royal Dragon Court Legacy, the works begun by my father, Nicholas de Vere. This is the third book to be published under the Royal Dragon Court name, and the first new release in twelve years since my father’s passing in 2013. For over a decade, I have worked to keep his vision alive, most actively since 2018, by continuing to promote his writings while developing my own. Inbred Britain is the first step in that journey, and it marks both a continuation of his legacy and the beginning of my own.

 Inbred Britain takes the reader deep into the questions of ancestry, kinship, and identity in these islands. It is not a sensationalist book about the word “inbred,” but a serious exploration of what that word actually means when we examine the historical and anthropological record. Rather than treating inbreeding as an insult or curiosity, this work places it into its proper historical, social, and biological context. In doing so, it uncovers truths about how dynasties, noble houses, and ordinary communities really functioned.

The book begins with the foundations of anthropology and the settlement of Britain: the tribal migrations, the cultural exchanges, and the genetic mixing that laid the groundwork for later history. From there, it traces how families, both great and small, organised themselves. In the ruling classes, cousin marriage was a deliberate tool, used to keep land, titles, and influence within a closed circle. In villages and parishes, the same pattern appeared for different reasons: limited mobility, small populations, and the social bonds of faith or occupation. Both realities shaped the nation in profound ways.

Genealogy provides the map, while modern DNA research adds an extra layer of clarity. The book explains pedigree collapse—the way a single ancestor can appear many times in one’s tree—and shows how this reality means that all of us, whether descended from peasants or peers, are far more closely related than we tend to imagine. By examining case studies, family charts, and specific marriages, the book demonstrates that the story of “inbreeding” in Britain is not one of shame or anomaly, but the ordinary, universal pattern of how families and societies were built.

At the same time, the book does not shy away from the consequences of close-kin marriage. It looks at where health issues arose, when dynasties weakened themselves, and how biology interacts with culture and politics. But it also offers a corrective to exaggeration: most families, most of the time, found ways to balance closeness and diversity, and the survival of Britain’s population itself is proof of resilience.

Inbred Britain draws upon charters, peerage records, parish registers, heraldic visitations, and DNA studies. It is carefully sourced, with extensive notes and references, but it is also written to be accessible to the reader who wants to understand without being overwhelmed by jargon. It is a book that invites the reader to think critically, to test stories against evidence, and to see their own ancestry in a new light.

Ultimately, this is a book about connection. It shows that the story of Britain is not the story of separate classes, tribes, or dynasties, but one great web in which all our lives are entangled. By peeling away myth and distortion, Inbred Britain asks the reader to recognise that history is not a distant abstraction—it is the shared inheritance written in our families, our records, and our very blood.

A Story of A Thousand Faces in PROGRESS NOW

A Story of A Thousand Faces is a book that explores how truths have been distorted for the benefit of the narrative — whether that be fear, control, or money. Across centuries, myths and histories have been reshaped to suit the needs of those in power, while the same stories are retold again and again, only with new masks, new names, and new characters.

This book takes the reader through familiar tales of gods, kings, saints, angels, dragons, and devils, showing how these figures shift in meaning over time. A benevolent guardian may be turned into a tyrant; a story of love and sacrifice may become a warning of sin and punishment. What appears to be many different myths is, in truth, the same archetypal story repeated across cultures, retold to influence belief and behaviour.

By drawing together literature, folklore, chronicles, and myth, A Story of A Thousand Faces reveals how authority has used storytelling as a tool of control, and how the same themes echo through our collective imagination. It invites the reader to recognise the repetition, to question what has been presented as truth, and to see through the masks that disguise the original stories.

This is not a work of fantasy. It is a work about truth — about reclaiming the ability to read critically, to question the authorised version, and to see how much of what we are told is not new at all, but simply another retelling of A Story of A Thousand Faces.
