Hugh de Port explained

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.^[6]
