The theory that ties Jygallag to the Thalmor is flawed because the Graymarch happened AFTER the Oblivion Crisis which was when the Thalmor rose to prominence by saving (mostly) the SAD (second Aldmeri Dominion) from Mehrunes Dagon's forces.

They then changed disbanded the SAD and created the TAD before renaming the Summerset Isles to Alinor (after the SI's capital). They later started the Great War, won and after a succesful but disappointing result began to prepare for the second Great War which would hopefully result in them following in the Ayleid's footsteps and enslaving the lowly races of men. The Second Aldmeri Dominion was destroyed in late 2nd or early 3rd era. Definitely not in Oblivion Crisis because by the time 3E 433 (Oblivion Crisis) Summerset Isles belonged to the Septim Empire.

Remember that Tiber Septim used the Brass God, Numidium to conquer the 2nd Aldmeri Dominion.
