Hugh de Port

[edit]

Is the Hugh de Port 'Lord of Seamer', the same Hugh de Port with a Wiki page? It seems likely to be? Same birthplace, birthdate circa 1015-1030??, the only difference is the date of death which most list as 1096 but on here it is 1066? (the year of conquest). Other websites have him as 'Lord of Basing' also, or are there two Hughs'?

The entire association of Hugh with Seamer appears unsupported. It was held by Gospatric son of Arnketil in 1066 and by Richard of Sourdeval under Robert, Count of Mortain in Domesday, so nothing the article says about the Ports seems relevant. Agricolae (talk) 17:34, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Catherine Parr

[edit]

In the 'History of Ryedale' (North Yorkshire) by John Rushton, it states that Dowager Countess Katherine (Catherine Parr?) 'would live (not stay?) in a great house behind Seamer Church'. Is that true? & if so, which house and for how long? Searched the internet & can find no other reference whatsoever? She is connected to the Percy's, Latimers & Roos, but cannot find a Seamer connection, other than this short paragraph.
