The First Knight of the Society, Sir Ardral Argo Ver Kaeysc, also known
as David the Herald, and known in modern times as David Bradley, died
in his sleep on Thursday, September 11, 2008. He was 57. He was Diana
Listmaker's nephew. A wake will be held for friends and family.

Sir Ardral was knighted on May 1, A.S. I (modernly 1966) at the very
first tournament of what would become the Society for Creative
Anachronism. The venue (around Berkeley, California) would later become
part of the West Kingdom. His heraldic device, registered in 1971, is
blazoned "Sable, a pall argent surmounting a pall inverted Or."

Sir Ardral also fought in the coronation tournament on April 30, A.S. I.

A wake is planned for Sunday, September 28th. May Sir Ardral rest in peace.
