“…for I was thinking of the lady whom I love best, and thus was she brought to my mind: — I was looking upon the snow, and upon the raven, and upon the drops of the blood of the bird that the hawk had killed upon the snow. And I bethought me that her whiteness was like that of the snow, and that the blackness of her hair and her eyebrows like that of the raven, and that the two red spots upon her cheek were like the two drops of blood.”
Peredur the Son of Evrawc, The Mabinogion

Could this be the source/inspiration for Snow White?
That imagery seems pretty wide-spread but I’d be curious if it fed into what became Snow White.
