Thread Name: 3 Ravens (Ravenscroft) what's it about?
Subject: RE: 3 Ravens (Ravenscroft) what's it about?
Steve, I don't know much about the Corpus Christi conjectures and I am more interested in the Three Ravens song anyway so I can't really comment on that with any degree of certainty or expertise.

However, if a religious person, e.g. a celibate monk or priest re-worked the Three Ravens song, they would be in deep trouble, I reckon, if they had the leman licking the knight's wounds. LOL

Unless there is a related version in the Carmina Burana, which has a reputation for sauciness.

Sorry, back to the serious discussion. :-)
