• Background Information. 141
Hugh de Port was an undertenant of Odo Bishop of Bayeux in Normandy. He witnessed a charter of Duke William sometime before the Conquest. In the Domesday Book, he appears as the most important lay tenant-in-chief in Hampshire, holding Basing, Sherborn St. John and fifty-three other manors in that county. Of his overloard, the Bishop of Bayeux, he held thirteen manors there and a further thirteen in Kent. He was at one time the Sheriff of Hampshire, and in the address of a royal writ for Hampshire of 1080/1, his name took predence of the sheriff. He was one of the barons present at the King's court in Normandy in 1085. In 1091, he attested charters of William II. He was married to Orence and died as a monk in 1096.
