Charles Selwyn

Charles Selwyn (1689 - 9 June 1749) of West Sheen, Surrey, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1722 and 1747.

He was then appointed gentleman usher to the Princess of Wales in 1714 and became equerry to the Queen in 1727 on the accession of King George II.

[1] Selwyn was returned unopposed by the government as Member of Parliament (MP) for Mitchell at the 1722 general election.

After his return, his behavior in parliament was often troublesome and insulting and he was described in derogatory terms by Horace Walpole and others.
