It's worth pointing out that, according to my Horrible Histories book on the Saxons, the raven was the Saxon messenger from the devil, arrived to foretell a person's fate, as described in Robert Southey's "The Devil's Due".
A classic that is a must read for a foundation in the wonderful world of October lit.
