Sir George Selby (c. 1557–1625) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1601 and 1611.
[1] On 6 May 1594 George Selby captured two fugitives from the Scottish court, Jacob Kroger,[2] the German goldsmith serving Anne of Denmark and Guillaume Martyn, a French attendant in the stables of James VI of Scotland who had looked after the king's camel.
[5] Thomas Power described some of jewels in a letter to the Earl of Northumberland as goldsmith's work, neckchains, and bracelets of ragged pearl, including a black bone heart set in gold with a pendant pearl, two double pearl rings for a gown, and gold shells and aiglettes for the body of the queen's gowns.
He was elected MP for Northumberland in 1614 but disqualified by Parliament, partly on the grounds of being a sheriff.
Selby's inventory detailed the furnishings of the "King's Chamber" which contained three bedsteads, and mirror called a "seeing glass", a Chiness cabinet, and other items.
