Or alternatively, Phary, Castamir and Wulf, who took the throne that wasn't theirs by rights of succession.
The riddle is in chronological order.

In fact, I've just discovered I can add two more lines to the end:

Born to the one who went to the water,
Held by the one who returned from beyond,
Left by the one who sought somewhere hotter,
Claimed by the one who for ages had longed,
Lost to the ones who took what they di'n't oughta,
Given to the one who truly belonged.

And thence to the ones who followed the daughter:
The namesake, the home-bound, the hill-dweller strong.
