Yes, Mede II may not have really retook the Imperial City.

But Mede I conqeured the Imperial City, reclaimed High Rock and Hammerfell.

Attrebus also took down Umbriel, and is the most likely explanation as to how Elsweyr and Morrowind returned to the Empire, though Elsweyr left later on again.

Whatever the case, the Medes aren't bad commanders.
