2. Also were does it mention that the Dragon Cult ruled alongside Nordic Kings? I have to call bullshit on that because the Dragon Cult was ruled by the Dovah and I doubt they would share there power. Now it could be there were Nordic Jarls under the Dragon Cult but I wouldn't say there was any kings. 1. Becuase the nords still respect thier ancestors bodies.

2. ............... I literally posted the source in my last post

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Dragon_War

"Dragons granted small amounts of power to the dragon priests in exchange for absolute obedience. In turn, the dragon priests ruled men as equals to the kings. Dragons, of course, could not be bothered with actually ruling."

It also even mentions weak Nordic kings as being a reason as to why the Dragon Preists got greedy in skyrim.

"In Tamriel, they were not nearly as benevolent. It's unclear if this was due to an ambitious dragon priest, or a particular dragon, or a series of weak kings." Sorry, I somehow missed your link.

But if the nords really respected there ancestors, would they really want them to become mindless Draugr in death. I'd say burn the bodies, tear down the structures.
