context_page_description: The Klågerup riots is the name for a series of Swedish rebellions which took place in Scania in Sweden in the summer of 1811.
  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 were displeased with both the army, which wanted to enforce conscription, and the Swedish priests who refused to stand up for the people.
  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 40 dead from gunshots at once, and several more who later died from infected wounds.
  Hundreds were brought in chains to Malmöhus Castle, which partly served as a prison. More died during 5-6 months of custody. Finally, a man, who the Swedish authorities believed to be some kind of rebel leader, was publicly executed at Stortorget square in Malmö.
