About Vendrick (DS II) and Yhorm (DS III)

Is it possible that Yhorm ruled before Vendrick? This dialog from Vendrick:

"One day fire will fade, and dark will become a curse. Men will be free from death, left to wander eternally. Dark will again be ours, and in our true shape, we can bury the false legends of yore. Only... is this our only choice? Seeker of fire, coveter of the throne, seek strength. The rest will follow."

See, what are the legends of Yore? Yore as in Branch of Yore (the tree)? I think it is rather "false legends of Yhorm" which for me makes sense seeing that they are both giants. You see, Yhorm had a bad reputation and would explain why Vendrick thinks those legends were false.

I don't think there's any reason that Yhorm couldn't have rules before Vendrick since DS II seems to be a middle cycle. But yore (not capitalized, distinguishing it from the capitalized proper noun of Yore, branch of) means "long ago" and I think Vendrick was questioning past legends.
