Baines' History, Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York, stated that William the Conqueror gave the lordship of both North and South Cave to Jordayne, who took the surname 'Cave'. This anecdote is not supported by evidence in Domesday Book, however. which does not list any landholder named "Jordayne". The book identifies several lords and tenants-in-chief for both North and South Cave; beside King William himself, Robert Malet appears to be the primary landholder in 1086, but William I died in 1087, Leaving William II as successor, and so, some land may have transferred after 1086, but more evidence is required to lend credence to this family origin story.
