^....No they weren't. In the Middle Ages crows were thought to be able to predict the future and the rain, and even ambushes. Along with being wise and living extremely long lives. Nothing of "misfortune" or "war".

Closest is the Irish and Welsh, who associate them with a figure that in itself is associated with war and/or death. But even then, it's not "bad luck".

Besides, many other cultures have positive views of ravens and crows.

1) Greek: Seen as a symbol of good luck and associated with Apollo.

2) Native Americans: Some see them as trickster or even Creator gods.

3) England: Legend has it that the Ravens at the Tower of London protect the kingdom's fortunes. Should they be removed, the kingdom would fall.

And those are just some.
