A group of individuals known as flaggelants emerged whose aim was to dispel fear of the clergy. The flaggelants placed blame on Gods wrath, and insisted that it was the sins of men and women that compelled God to punish them. The efforts of the flaggelants began in Perugia and Central Italy in 1260, and their message soon spread north to other parts of Europe.
