Hugh de Port
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Hugh de Port (c. 1015 – 1096) was an 11th-century French-English Norman aristocrat. He was believed to have arrived in England from Port-en-Bressin, leaving behind his son who owned land of the bishop of Bayeux in 1133. It is possible that was the first Norman sheriff of Kent.[1] De Port accumulated a great number of properties, believed to have been no less than 53 at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086,[2] when he held the manor of Bramshill (Bromeselle); his family were in possession of it for nine generations.[3] He is closely associated with the history of Portsmouth, and most of his estates were based in Hampshire.[4]
Hugh's son and heir was Adam de Port.[5]
