Would you want tales of Austria?
Something I knew of because of my interest in crows and ravens.

I remember the tale of these Turnfalken supernatural
ravens, that cursed the Hapsburgs for centuries (since the
1100's) and supposedly started WWI and 'The White Lady' a
family ghost since 1807 which was an omen.
"Screaming flocks of turnfalken blackened the skies
over the palaces of Hofburg and Schönbrunn at the time when
Archduke Franz Ferdinand fell in love with Sophie.(1894)

good myth and read from "The Book of Curses" by Stuart Gordon, Brockhampton Press, pg105-111
and his reference was "The Hapsburg Curse" by Hans Holzer (DoubleDay)

Couldn't find links on the web but here is link page to Hapsburgs.
The main site is interesting read for historical knowledge of the power this family had.

hapsburg.com

If its an interest I would post more.
