Since its conception in the First Era, Valenwood has been ruled by thee Camoran Dynasty of Kings. This is a royal bloodline of Bosmer (sometimes including Ayleid and Altmer heritage as well) that are the kings of Valenwood. The Camoran Dynasty were the rulers until the Third Era when Tiber Septim, or Talos, conquered all of Tamriel. At this point Tiber Septim allowed the camoran dynasty to live as a figurehead king, since Tiber Septim was the true ruler now. Years later in 3E 249, Haymon Camoran, serving as a mage and advisor of the Camorans, usurped the Camoran throne and took power. Through his own sorcery, and very likely a Daedric pact, Haymon Camoran or The Hart-King raised an army of undead and Daedra to conquer Valenwood and Tamriel. Over a period of several years Haymon conquered Valenwood and a great part of Hammerfell before he was killed in battle. Assumedly the Camorans continued to rule and figurehead kings to the empire, later falling under the Third Aldmeri Dominion's control when the Thalmor were taking control in the Fourth Era (Skrim time).
