MORETON, ALBERT; b.; adm.; KS; in 1604 James I directed the electors to elect him to Trinity Coll. Cambridge at the next election, but the Master of Trinity refused to accept him on the ground of Moreton’s ignorance (CSPDom 1603-10, 185; Ball, Cambridge Papers, 54). This entry by G. F. Russell Barker and A. H. Stenning seems to relate to the future Sir Albertus Morton, a King’s Scholar at Eton, elected from there to King’s Coll. Cambridge. The CSP Dom entry is under the heading “The King to the Governors of [Westminster ?] College”, indicating that the word “Westminster” does not appear, or could not be read, in the document cited, and all that it says is that the King “requires them to prefer Albert Moreton, a scholar there, to Cambridge at the next election”, a phraseology perfectly compatible with this being a request that Albertus Morton should be elected from Eton to King’s, especially as a letter sent to the Westminster electors should have been addressed to the Dean of Westminster and not to a body of “Governors”. W. W. Rouse Ball believed that the request was for the election of Albert Moreton, whom he clearly did not identify as Albertus Morton, from Westminster to Trinity, and states that Neale declined the request on the ground of Moreton’s ignorance, but he does not cite a source for the statement about Neale, and it seems most unlikely that an Albert Moreton and an Albertus Morton were candidates for election from different schools to different Cambridge colleges more or less simultaneously]
