In Irish mythology ravens are associated with warfare and the battleground in the figures of Badb and MorrΓgan. Welsh mythology features Bran the Blessed, whose name means "raven" or "crow". He is depicted as giant and the King of the Britons in tale known as the Second Branch of the Mabinogi. Several other characters in Welsh mythology share his name, and ravens figure prominently in the 12th or 13th century text The Dream of Rhonabwy, as the army of King Arthur's knight Owain.
There is a story that England will fall if ever the ravens abandon the Tower of London.Bran the Blessed is associated with the Tower of London in the Welsh Triads, which might be the origin of the story.
I love this legend btw
