1676: En svensk tross med vagnar innehållande pengar och ammunition blev på fälten vid Loshults kyrka överfallen av ett skånskt folkuppbåd, och efter en kort strid retirerade de överlevande svenskarna med en del av krigskassan över gränsen till Småland. De anfallande skånska bönderna tog med så mycket av krigskassan de kunde bära, och resten stals av smålänningar som av de flyende svenska soldaterna satts att vakta trossen.
Rykten om nedgrävda skatter florerar fortfarande i trakten, då endast ca. 1/5 av bytet från Loshultskuppen har återfunnits.
English:
1676 a.d.:A Swedish troop with several wagon loads of money and ammunition was attacked by a band of farmers from Skåne on the fields near the church of Loshult. After a short battle, the surviving Swedes retreated over the border to Småland with part of the war fundings. The attacking farmers from Skåne took as much as they could carry, and the rest was stolen by the Småland people that were ordered by the fleeing Swedes to guard the waggons.
Rumors of hidden treasured still flourish in the neighborhood, as only 1/5 of the plunder from the Loshult raid has ever been retrieved.
