George Lamb (politician)

The Hon. George Lamb MP (11 July 1784 – 2 January 1834) was a British politician and writer.

He was the youngest son of Elizabeth Lamb, Viscountess Melbourne and Peniston Lamb, 1st Viscount Melbourne. However, due to his mother's numerous love affairs, George's true paternity is a matter of debate. It is widely rumored that George's biological father was George IV (then the Prince of Wales), who acted as George Lamb's godfather. He was the brother of William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, Frederick Lamb, 3rd Viscount Melbourne, and Emily Lamb, Countess Cowper.
