Robb Stark's death foretold 2

I've already written a post on the various signs that Robb Stark was going to die. See here. I've just come across another one in A Storm of Swords.

The Onion Knight, Davos Seaworth has just returned from the dead, intent on gaining access to King Stannis and killing the sorceress Melisandre, he goes to the castle and runs into Patchface the fool and Shireen, the princess. This is what Patchface has to say....

“Fool’s blood, king’s blood, blood on the maiden’s thigh, but chains for the guests and chains for the bridegroom, aye aye aye.”
Fool's Blood
At the Red Wedding, Catelyn Stark kills Walder Frey's halfwit son.

King's Blood
Robb Stark's

Blood on the maiden's thigh
The bride loses her maidenhead that day, hence the blood.

Chains for the guest
Now I don't recall if any of the guests were taken captive, I know many were killed

Chains for the Bridegroom
Edmure Frey, who has been bedding his new wife while the massacre was taking place, remains afterwards as a prisoner of the Freys
