Kathryn Courtney

Short Description: 

Kathryn was princess of Atlantia from 10/11/1980-05/02/1981.

Poem (Canso): 

Her easy grace did win for her renown.
This princess was a cloudlike dream on high.
When Princess Kathryn wore her artful gowns
Like noontime sun in flight she'd blind one's eye.

When Dante for his Beatrice did climb,
Each holy angel's loveliness
Deprived him of his sight. So she sublime
Our wits reduced to drunken emptiness.

It's said our royalty is heaven sent.
If that is true, then she from there to earth
Did come. This angel fair to us he lent
To sanctify our kingdom's holy birth.

This beauty was the last to call her own
The principality's still-treasured throne.
