Caid was the 6th Kingdom created in the Society for Creative Anachronism. A subject of Caid is known as a "Caidan" (rather than "Caidian").
The Principality of CAID was officially created at the Royal Tourney of Union held in the Barony of Dreiburgen on 4/20-21/1974. It was noticed that in order of precedence - the four baronies that made the principality spelled A.C.I.D; Angels, Calafia, Isles, and Dreiburgen. However, that being an unacceptable name choice, other words were sought using the same letters. CAID was chosen, an Arabic word meaning "fortress". The name had only recently been devised by Master Boncueur and, while enthusiastically accepted by the populace, had not yet been approved by the College of Arms.
The First Coronet and Coronation Tourney was held in the Barony of Calafia 6/8-9/1974 and Prince Christian and Princess Denysa were crowned on Sunday.
Martin and Neptha were the final Prince and Princess of the Principality of Caid.
