St. Mungo, the founder of Scotland's largest city, was born around 525 AD. This makes him a contemporary of the legendary King Arthur of Britain, and situates him firmly in the sixth century, the so-called "lost century" when, in the breakdown of the Roman Empire, records were no longer kept and even the method of dating years was lost. Nothing was written about Mungo until the twelfth century, but his story was passed down by his people in the oral tradition. It is this story that Reginald Hale set out to trace, by visiting the places that tradition associates with Mungo's life. The scholarship and enthusiasm he brought to this task have helped to produce a book which not only fills a significant gap in our knowledge of a vital period in the history of Christianity, but also makes fascinating reading in its portrayal of a truly remarkable personality. Published in English.
