Sir David Kirke (c. 1597 – 1654), also spelled David Ker,[1] was an adventurer, privateer and colonial governor. He is best known for his successful capture of Québec in 1629 during the Anglo-French War and his subsequent governorship of lands in Newfoundland. A favourite of Charles I, Kirke's downfall came with that of the Crown during the English Civil War and it is believed he died in prison.
