Abstract: We develop the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Manin-Hitchin-Nahm construction to study SU(2) non-abelian charge 3 monopoles within the algebro-geometric method. The method starts with finding an algebraic curve, the monopole spectral curve, subject to Hitchin's constraints. We take as the monopole curve the genus four curve that admits a C3 symmetry, , with real parameters alpha, and gamma. In the case alpha=0 we prove that the only suitable values of are pm5sqrt2 ( is given below) which corresponds to the tetrahedrally symmetric solution. We then extend this result by continuity to non-zero values of the parameter alpha and find finally a {em new} one-parameter family of monopole curves with C3 symmetry.
