Under King Morken he was compelled to flee to St David’s in Wales, where
he founded the Cathedral at Llanelwy (St Asaph). Under King Riderch he
could return and became Bishop. He first had his bishop’s seat at Hoddom
in Dumfriesshire, evangelising Galloway before returning and building his
church known as Clas-gu (‘dear family’.)
He was visited by St Columba and
exchanged ‘pastoral staves’. He is said
to have died on Sunday 13 th January ‘in
his bath’, which probably meant: during
a baptismal service.
He performed 4 miracles in his lifetime
which are commemorated in the
Glasgow arms. The Glasgow motto:
“Let Glasgow flourish by the preaching
of the word” had been Mungo’s call.
(The story of his early life resembles the
romance by Chretiens de Troyes,
“Ywain” and probably has the same
source)
