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. His violent behaviour lost him his birthright and catalysed the split of the Duala people into rival Bell and Akwa sublineages.
==European sources==
European sources mention several rulers with names similar to Priso living on the Cameroons coast; these may all refer to the same individual. British records from 1788 and 1790 list a Duala leader named Preshaw as a subordinate of another ruler known as King George. 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.〔Austen and Derrick 38.〕 The same records mention a Peter a doe,〔Austen and Derrick 37.〕 and a Peter's Town appears on a 1790 map by Captain Roger Latham.〔Austen and Derrick 197 note 54.〕 According to an 1826 journal by R. M. Jackson, a leader named Preese became violent toward Europeans in 1792. Jackson blames Preese for piracy in the Wouri estuary. A work by James W. Holman mentions piracy in the estuary but gives no names.〔
