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]
