Richard III says this:

Richmond! When last I was at Exeter,

The mayor in courtesy show'd me the castle,

And call'd it Rougemont: at which name I started,

Because a bard of Ireland told me once

I should not live long after I saw Richmond.

The "bard" he is talking about is a minstrel. In this case he is also a prophet.
