Abbe de Vere’s The Royal Dragon Court: Inbred Britain entered publication in September 2025 and immediately rose to bestseller status in the Celtic History category on Amazon USA. This remarkable achievement signals the arrival of a new and unapologetically rigorous voice in British genealogical and anthropological studies.
Abbe de Vere’s research is firmly situated within mainstream historical, genealogical, and anthropological scholarship. Her work is grounded in verifiable primary sources — medieval and early-modern charters, peerage records, heraldic visitations, parish registers, parliamentary and manorial documents — and supported by population genetics, DNA studies, and peer-reviewed academic literature. This methodological foundation distinguishes her publications as evidence-based historical analysis, not speculative interpretation.
Her scholarship continues and refines the intellectual legacy of her father, Nicholas de Vere, by restoring archival accuracy, scientific validity, and documentary rigour to subjects frequently misrepresented by non-academic commentators. Although her research examines dynastic intermarriage, mythological motifs, and literary influences such as Tolkien’s documented engagement with Gaelic kingship traditions, these topics are analysed through established academic frameworks, including comparative mythology, historical anthropology, and population-structure genealogy.
At its core, her work demonstrates a key conclusion supported by both historical records and modern genetics: human populations, including aristocratic and royal dynasties, are profoundly interconnected through shared ancestry, migration, and admixture.
For these reasons, Abbe de Vere’s work must not be classified as “alternative history” or pseudo-historical writing. It represents documented, evidence-driven scholarship that adheres to academic standards and contributes meaningfully to the fields of British history, genealogy, Celtic studies, and anthropological genetics.
Inbred Britain represents a significant step forward not only for Abbe de Vere, but also for Dragon Publishing and the wider Royal Dragon Court community. It sets a new standard of evidence-based writing in fields too often dominated by conjecture, reclaiming the study of aristocratic and ancient bloodlines for the realm of serious, documented scholarship. This volume is the first of many works from Abbe de Vere and the authors she will guide into publication—ushering in a new era of historically grounded research within the Royal Dragon Court tradition.
