I read something about this very theory at least a month ago. Was it something you posted or something on Phys.org I read?
It was on The Register in the UK on June 5th:

Look at the post by “Resound” at 5:52 GMT.
This guy beat Mr Allen’s podcast.
The Nature podcast was from June 7th. Mr. Allen is NOT the first person to find this.

This guy should get out more.
Interesting, but rather slim evidence. I wonder if astronomers can pin-point a super nova appearance that year.
Nice find!

There’s a post, somewhere on FR, that I read literally in the past couple of days, before I saw this “red crucifix” thing, someone could recall learning (years ago) about some kind of celestial phenom (comet, meteor/ite, supernova) that appeared to lead to the Black Death, I think it was. :’) Wish I knew where. Someone asked me in open thread if I knew what it was.
Yeah, I resemble that remark. For that matter, it’s the very basis for the success of the worldwide web...
