Klågerup riots

That year a series of rebellions took place in Scania, caused by discontent about, among other things, the draft for military service.

This led to demonstrations by civilian armies of peasantry, who demanded negotiations with the authorities.

The rebels also attacked and plundered some estates belonging to the nobility.

The name Klågerup riots are given to the events from the end of the affair: the last forces of the rebel army, gathered at Klågerup, refused to surrender and was attacked by the military on 15 June 1811, leading to some 30 dead from gunshots at once (23 of them died in Klågerup), and several more who later died from infected wounds.

[1][2] Hundreds were brought in chains to Malmöhus Castle, which partly served as a prison.
