It's possible that while Ysgramor effectively "founded" the civilization on which his dynasty would be built, that he died before becoming the official High King. While we do hear about how he led the Five Hundred Companions and had Windhelm constructed, we never really hear much about Ysgramor actually ruling his dynasty.
