Priso a Doo

Priso a Doo, also known as Preshaw, Preese, and possibly Peter, was a Duala ruler who lived on the Wouri River of the Cameroons in the late 18th century.

European sources mention several rulers with names similar to Priso living on the Cameroons coast; these may all refer to the same individual.

Records from the British brig Sarah from 1790 indicate that Preshaw received the third largest "dash" (gift) from them, behind George and Angua and ahead of a ruler named Bell.

As the eldest son of Doo a Makongo (likely the King George in European records), Priso was the heir apparent to his father's position and wealth.

His rapine grew so violent that his brother, Bele a Doo (Bell from the European records) fled to the opposite bank of the Wouri River, where he founded the Bonaberi township.
