- Records tell us that Ivar Corvinus/Ravn came from an old farming-family in the area around Vilstrup, located just south of Haderslev. He became the first Lutheran minister for Starup-Grarup parish circa 1533 until 1554; Ivar Ravn died sometime between 1555-1569.
The identity of Ivars's wife seems to be less than certain. According to Bornholms Samlinger II, nr. 17, page. 145, she was Botilla Ivarsdatter (Ancharius?). Another source has her as Botilla Nisdatter Kr?ger, the daughter of Nicolaus Kr?ger, alderman (r?dmand) and later the mayor (borgmester) of Haderslev.
According to "Danmarks Kirker" there existed a long gone epitaph in Starup Church with the following inscription in Latin:
"Here lies Ivar called Raven -- but in reality he was a Dove. In Starup and Grarup he learned about the heavenly Christian Faith, and renounced the Pope's empty dreams. Pure and Simple he was, like the Families of old, just in all his ways and a God-fearing Man." Note: "ravn" is the danish word for raven.
On possible male descendent of Ivar Ravn:
Arends and Archelis think that Ivar Ravn had a son who was teacher (kantor) for the latin school in Haderslev from 1599-1616, but that is probably not correct according to Edvard Skovgaard. If anything he is possibly Ivar's grandson. He was father to Jens Ravn (1601-66), pastor for Haderslev 1631-44 and for Moltrup-Bjerning 1640-59. Thereafter he went northward, and finally became parish priest for Bjert, 1660-65.
