   "The Crow"
   The Norrises or Norreys in which form the name is, of course present known, were special favourites of Elizabeth who wrote to lady Norreys on the death of on of her sons "My own dear crow nature can have stirred..."
   Lady Norreys was called "crow" from the dark colour of her hair. Her husband told the Queen that the rumour of their son's death had made the crow's heart as black as her feathers.
