Hugh de Port (c. 1015 – 1096), Anglo-Norman, believed to have arrived in England from Port-en-Bessin, leaving behind his son, Adam de Port, died 1133, who in that year owned land from the bishop of Bayeux.
Possibly, Hugh was the first Norman Sheriff of Kent.
[1] De Port accumulated many properties, thought to have been no less than 53 at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086,[2][3] when he held the manor of Bramshill (Bromeselle).
[4] Hugh de Port is associated closely with the history of Portsmouth; most of his estates were based in Hampshire.
[5] Hugh's son and heir was Adam de Port.
