This story of the Three Princes of the Dobunni are real characters from recorded history, though we know no more than their names and deaths. In the coming novel you can find out more...

How do you know? You can't assume that because your ancestors might have come from Somerset or Gloucestershire, doesn't mean you have Brythonic DNA. Somerset and Gloucestershire were heavily settled by the Saxons after the sixth century. If you've got Brythonic DNA then you might be descended from anywhere in Great Britain but it's only West Wales (Ceredigion, North Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire) where you'd have any certainty that you're DNA is Brythonic. There's no such thing as purely Dobunni or Dumonnii, or Iceni DNA.
A novel ? Sounds great, will it have the illustrations?
Yes, I'm working on them now and as soon as they're done it will be over to Kindle to publish. The manuscript is approved already so just the artwork now, hopefully it'll be out in the summer. X
Yes, sorry for delay in replying. The novel ill be available at the end of June.
Is stardust based on this?
No!
What happens next?
Hi Kenny, well there will be more... I'm writing a much bigger story and this is just a small part of it. I'm trying to get it done but real life keeps getting in the way!
@@leamoran It's a great story with some beautiful wordcraft. I hope you managed to eschew life's entanglements to get the greater story done! Best of luck with your project.
@@freeman5209 thank you. I'm working on one more 5 minute story then will begin the illustrations for the novel and hope to have it ready to publish by Easter.
