Roger de Port
Roger de Port was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and Baron of Kington.
Roger was the son of Adam de Port, who died around 1133.[1] Through his possession of the manor of Kington in Herefordshire, he was considered by I. J. Sanders to have been the baron of Kington.[2]
Roger gave to the abbeys of Tiron and Saint-Vigor-de-Cerisy in Normandy,[1] and to Andwell Priory in England.[3]
Roger was married to Sybil d'Aubigny,[4] by whom he had three sons – Adam, Henry, and Hugh. Roger died before 1161.[1] Roger was buried at Tiron.[5]
