     Adam de Port was the son of Roger de Port and Sybil d'Aubigny.2 Adam de Port died after 1174 at England.1
     Adam forfeited his barony in 1171 for treason, for attempting to murder King Henry II of England. The medieval chronicler Roger of Howden claimed that Adam was exiled in 1172. Adam was a prisoner in 1172, when he was recorded as arriving in London. Adam took part in the Revolt of 1173–74 on the side of King Henry's sons. Adam was involved with the invasion of northern England by King William the Lion, the King of Scots. In July 1174 Adam was part of the force led by King William that was defeated. Although King William was captured, Adam was not captured and escaped. Nothing is known of him after his escape.1
