George Huppert argued that the BlackDeath played a significant role in transforming European societies. According to Huppert, how did this transformation affect religion and religious belief ? How does Hupperts point of view relate to the time period examined? What tole did religion play in the lives of ordinary people? Do you agree or disagree that Huppert adequately proved this thesis

The principal result of the Black Death was that it vastly reduced the labor force of Europe, driving up wages for laborers.

I would imagine that Christians of that time thought that the Black Death was God's punishment for sin. They also thought that the Lisbon earthquake in the 1700s was God's punishment for sin. I expect that even now many of them believe that our recent tsunami in the Pacific Ocean was God's punishment for sin.

We know, however, that these disasters occurred because of natural processes that are well known to science. But this does not stop Christians from trying to lay superstitious guilt trips on us.

Geoffrey Chaucer, the great English Poet Laureate, was around during this time. He was a public official, and so faced dangerous circumstances during the Peasants Rebellion that the other answerer alluded to. He lived through it though. The Black Death was also influential in the Protestant Reformation. Researching either one of these aspects could add another dimension to your paper.
