Abstract
This book chapter discusses the influence of games and game playing at the Scottish court of James IV and James V in shaping the iconographic program of James V's royal apartments at Stirling Castle, Scotland. Ball games and the card game of Trionfi in particular offered occasions not only for entertainment, but for reflection and meditation on how forces of chaos and the player's own powers of reasoning could determine an individual's destiny - and that of the world. This chapter offers an original investigation of the iconography of the Stirling facade, proposing parallels with continental sources, particularly Italian, French, and German.
