Answer 1

Answer:

Hello,

I think this is the answer:

Flagellants were people who travelled about whipping each other. They believed that the Black Death was God'' punishment. They punished themselves in order to beg forgiveness and travelled around, singing hymns and saying prayers. There were two types of plague.

Please mark my question.
