He married on July 12, 1636 in Stockholm Beata Sparre of Rossvik (1618–1672, niece of Anna Åkesdotter Bååt, ∞ Axel Oxenstierna ). The marriage resulted in twelve children, of whom five sons and five daughters reached adulthood. There were u. a .: Beata (1638–1674), Bengt (1639–1700), Johan (1642–1710) and Göran (1649–1677).

Career and work

After studying at Uppsala University , Schering went on educational trips through England, France and the Dutch provinces. Appointed Assessor at the Swedish Court in 1632 , he was soon entrusted with diplomatic tasks. Two years later he organized the restructuring of the Stockholm city administration and the city council. In 1637 he became governor of Östergötland . The Swedish Queen sent him to Münster as a Swedish resident in 1645 for the Westphalian peace negotiations . In August 1647 he was recalled from Munster and was appointed Swedish ambassador in Paris the following year. Because of his anonymously published critical statements against the French government and hostility to Cardinal Mazarin , he was ordered back to Sweden. In 1650 he was appointed Chancellery and Imperial Councilor and in 1651 led a commission in Bremen that dealt with the organization of the administration of the new province. Appointed governor in Stockholm in 1652, he was raised to the rank of baron . In the same year, after the death of Johan Adler Salvius , Schering continued negotiations with Poland as principal legate in Lübeck, without success. A year later he helped set up the Swedish court for the German provinces in Wismar. At the Diet in Uppsala in 1654 he read the declaration on Queen Christina's abdication. In 1660, he and Imperial Councilor Sten Nilsson Bielke concluded the Swedish-Danish peace agreement in Copenhagen . With his last official act in 1662 he headed the commission on the annexation of Skåne, which Denmark had to cede to Sweden. After his death, Schering was buried in the family grave in the church in Husby.

Between 1652 and 1656 he built the Schering Rosenhane Palace in Riddarholmen in Stockholm, which is now used by the judiciary. He found his final resting place in the family vault in Husby Church.
