Hans Adam von Schöning
Generalfeldmarschall Hans Adam von Schöning (1641–1696) was a cantankerous soldier in Brandenburg and Saxon service who distinguished himself in the Turkish Wars and the Nine Years War against France, but was more famous for his quarrel with General von Barfus, and was eventually arrested for supposedly plotting to bring Saxony over to the French. He was well-connected by marriage, his uncle being Field Marshal Georg von Derfflinger and his daughter being married to Colonel Count Ludwig von Blumenthal, a nephew of Field Marshal von Dünewald and brother-in-law of General Carl Friedrich von Schlippenbach (1658-1753).
