Bastian's entertainment in the Great Hall at Stirling Castle caused a diplomatic incident
Bastian Pagez was a French servant and musician at the court of Mary, Queen of Scots. He was born in Auvergne.[1] He devised part of the entertainment at the baptism of Prince James at Stirling Castle in 1566.[2] When Mary was exiled in England, Bastian and his family continued in her service. The 19th-century historians Agnes Strickland and William Barclay Turnbull considered his court role as equivalent to the English Master of the Revels; in England he was Mary's chamber valet and designed her embroidery patterns.
