He fell asleep and some of the other boys, being envious of him, put out the fire. As a boy in the monastery, Mungo was left in charge of the holy fire in the refectory. The tree is now an oak but it started in the legend as hazel branch. He took the dead bird in his hands and prayed over it, whereupon it was restored to life and flew chirping to its master. It was accidentally killed by some of his disciples who blamed St Mungo. The bird commemorates the wild robin which St Serf, St Mungo's old master, tamed. The first seal on which all the emblems are represented together is that of the Chapter of Glasgow used from 1488-1540, but it was not until 1647 that they appeared in something like their present combination on a seal 'maid by directioune of the toune'. The bell first appears in 1321 on the privy seal of the Chapter of Glasgow. On a later seal of the prelate the tree, or at least a branch, is shown along with the fish and bird.
The fish was the first to appear, on the seal of Bishop William Wyschard in 1270, to be joined by the bird in 1271, on the seal of Bishop Robert Wyschard. The emblems had been used in various forms and can be traced back to the seals of the Bishop of Glasgow. There were at least three official seals in use before a patent was granted by the Lord Lyon in 1866. The City of Glasgow had no single official armorial bearings until the 19 th century.
