He fell asleep and either let the fire burn out or some of the students put it out while he slept. The tree: Mungo was left in charge of the monastery fire to keep it burning in the monks’ absence. Mungo is said to have prayed over the bird and brought it back to life. The bird: When Mungo was a student of Saint Serf, some of his classmates stole Serf’s pet robin and killed it, then left it with Mungo in an attempt to place the blame on him for the death of the bird.

An explanation follows and I make no claims as to the accuracy of my version of the stories. There are legends that tell about the miracles. Each item represents one of the four miracles attributed to St. Where are they? The answer to this riddle is that all four of these items are found on the Glasgow Coat of Arms. Mungo, a tree with a bell and a bird over a gutted salmon, and two salmon flanking the crest, each with a ring in its mouth. She promised to never repeat the affair, however, and was thus forgiven.The Glasgow Coat of Arms features an image of St. In this way, Mungo restored the Queen to her position, even though she had sinned. This is then taken to the queen who presents it to the King, who, understandably, cannot understand what has happened but nonetheless forgives her. This is a salmon, which, on being cut open, is seen to contain the ring. Mungo tells the messenger straightaway to go fishing in the Clyde and to bring back the first fish he catches. In prison, she sent a messenger to Mungo asking for forgiveness and aid. As a result she was then denounced and thrown into prison to await execution, despite the efforts of the courtiers to have her pardoned. She, of course, could not get it back from her lover because it was now lost. He then went back and demanded that his wife show him the ring. He invited the soldier to go hunting with him and then, when the young man fell asleep, he slipped up the ring off his finger and threw it into the river Clyde.

He then laid a plot to denounce his wife publicly. Although Redderech did not want to believe the tale, the sight of ring on the young soldier's hand convinced him. However, a servant informed the king of the affair. The Queen had a secret lover, a soldier, whom she had presented with a ring which given to her by her husband Redderech. This is a funny story of a saint covering up the queen for adultery, even though it bears relations to other well-known stories about saints, kings and queens (there are versions of this tale for Gwenevere and Lancelot (part of the Arthurs' sage) and of lovers in antiquity). The Fish x97 The salmon and the ring relate to Queen Longuoreth's affair with a young soldier and Mungo's saving of the Queen. The original bell no longer exists, and a replacement, created in the 1640s, is now on display in Glasgow. It was said to have been used in services and to mourn the deceased. The Bell x97 the bell is thought to have been brought by Mungo from Rome. Taking branches from a tree, he restarted the fire without using anything else. The Tree x97 Mungo had been left in charge of a fire in Saint Serf's monastery. Mungo, however, miraculously restored life to the robin. Mungo's classmates hated him for his good results, and decided to kill the robin and try to blame Mungo for its death. The Bird x97 Saint Serf was a teacher of several children in Mungo's youth, and had a robin (roodborstje) as a pet. Saint Mungo performed several miracles, to which the images on the coat of arms and the little poem refer.

He eventually returned to Glasgow and met Saint Columba there (an Irish saint famous for his conversions in England). He was then banished by the new king who did not approve of the Christian religion and went to Rome on a pilgrimage.

He founded the church in Glasgow, which is still on the same site as the current Glasgow Cathedral, and was very succesfull for some years. That is why he became the saint of Glasgow. He was brought up by Saint Serf, a monk who converted the Picti (a people) in that area, and continued his master's work near the river Clyde. Saint Mungo, whose original name was Kentigern, was born from a queen, but because he was conceived outside of marriage he grew up outside of the kingdom near Fife. The verses refer to four stories that are told about Saint Mungo (6th century AD). They are also contained in a verse: Here is the bird that never flew Here is the tree that never grew Here is the bell that never rang Here is the fish that never swam In the shield, you see the same fish, a tree, a bird and a bell. It contains a shield framed by two salmon having rings in their mouth. Glasgow has a special coat of arms (stadswapen), linked to the stories of Saint Mungo.
