What drives ordinary human beings to turn upon their neighbors and whip their own flesh to ribbons when confronted with the end of the world?

When the Black Death arrived in the Rhine Valley during the frozen winter of 1349, it brought more than swift, agonizing death-it shattered the moral and social foundations of Western Europe. In The Flagellants of 1349, historian Winston Maddox delivers a deeply researched, unsparing narrative of one of history's most terrifying fanatical movements. Driven by apocalyptic terror, thousands of white-robed penitents known as the Brothers of the Cross marched from town to town, performing gruesome public rites of self-flagellation to appease divine wrath. This is not a detached overview; it is an immersive descent into a world where medieval dogma, pestilence, and psychological collapse converged with devastating force.
