John Melton
Sir John Melton (died 1640) was an English merchant, writer and politician.
Melton was appointed Secretary to the Council of the North in 1635, by Charles I of England.[1] He was elected Member of Parliament for Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the year of his death; it is unknown whether he has a connection to the Melton line of Aston, several members of which held the position of Lord Lucy.[2]
Melton's works include A Six-Folde Politician (1609), and the satirical play Astrologaster (1620), against astrologers.
