This is an extremely literal-minded interpretation of KoS.

The source where this overlap is stated has Tarkalor's reign as KoDP starting in 1569 (when he became Prince of Sartar) and not 1575, when CHDP says he married the FHQ. Likewise Sartar wasn't KoDP in 1492, but started his contests in 1494.

There is no conclusive evidence to demand that Moirades became King of Dragon Pass when he became King of Tarsh.

It is more likely that Moirades married the Feathered Horse Queen "Riches Without Tears" after the Battle of Grizzly Peak.
