Indeed, even though we don't know much of Alessian line, but they ruled over Tamriel for perhaps close to 1000 years, ever since Alessia the Slave Queen had defeated Aylids. Although the only mention that we have of anyone besides her in her line, is possibly her grand son, who ruled Tamriel during the time of Rislav the Righteous. I am not sure how Alessian Dynasty came to an end, but at one point Reman appeared with the power of t'hum and was proclaimed by Akaviri Dragonguard as Dragonborn, he proceeded to take the ruby throne after that. Remen Dynasty is the first recorded one, at least well enough to know the names of every members. It's not so much well recorded to know the exact dates of everything. It is also the shortest one so far, it had ruled for at least couple of centuries and had only three Emperors. Akaviri Potentate had Morag Tang to assassinate Reman III and all his sons. That had ended the first era and second era had began with two rulers of Akaviri Potentate. After second one was assassinated I belive, it was time of Interegnum, the time described in ESO. It didn't end until Talos had recovered the Amulet of Kings and ascended the throne as Dragonborn Emperor. Then he ended second era, after he unified Tamriel once more. Septim Dynasty then lasted for about 400 or more years and ended in 3 era 433. We all know how Septim Dynasty ended, but Elder Council did not elect Titus Mede I, after Martin ended the Oblivion Crysis. For a brief period of time it was High Cancelor Ocato who ruled as regent, until he was assassinated by Thalmor. Then once again, for 17 years Tamriel was in the state of Interegnum. I don't know who all competed for the throne then, but it was a Colovian Warmonger who mannaged to take over Imperial City and had himself crowned as Emperor Titus Mede I. Doesn't this story reminds you of how a Falkreath King Cuhlecaine, from Colovian Estates, almost seized the ruby throne at the end of Interegnum in the second era? On the side note, Septim Dynasty remains the most recorded one in history of Tamriel, you got all the names and all the dates there. Mede Dynasty, seem to be just as poorly recorded as Alessian Dynasty, and they aren't even that old! I am not even talking about Ysgramor Dynasty of the Nordic High Kings. There were 13 High Kings after Ysgramor, yet we don't know who they were. The first High King after Ysgramor that is mention, is said to be 13th in the line. Perhaps it was hard to get historical records from Merethic Era, but how Besedtha can explain Mede Dynasty and gaps in their history? Who was the Emperor before Titus Mede II, that should be the question, and we still wouldn't get an answer to that.
