Not necessarily. Yes, the Septims we know of are all dead. But real-life history being what it is, it is just plain impossible for Martin to be the only illegitimate child of the Septim line, and claiming that those were all kept track of is highly ridiculous. I posit that the Septim bloodline is still out there, if only scattered, hard-to-find, and utterly forgotten. You probably couldn't reliably trace any living descendants back to the Septims, and with the Amulet of Kings gone there's no reliable test, but my theory is and has been for quite a while that the Septim line is about, but practically invisible to the universe at large for this reason.
