∙ 13y agoThere are no characters in any of Shakespeare's plays who are called Bard (although there is a Bardolph), but there are one or two references to the word. An example is:
"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"
(Richard III IV, ii)
