Not necessarily. In the Ruins of Empire book it details quite a few people
with a legitimate claim to the bloodline of Roele. It doesn't have to be
Michael's bloodline, mind you. For example, both Avan and Boeruine have
Roele's bloodline, and therefore a legitimate claim to the throne. The
Baron of Roesone also has a tie to Roele through the Gorgon (a claim to the
throne, albeit with a dark twist ), and there are quite a few others as
well.
