The elves and dwarves ruled Blackmoor from 998 it seems and until 1002, if not longer.

Yep, part of the reason I assume that Blackmoor was formerly controled by Dwarves and Elves prior to significant human settlement following the "conquest" (annexation really) of Blackmoor by Robert I. I see both groups, particularly Elves as only humouring the humans while still considering Blackmoor to be thier territory. What's left unexplained is why the elves turn Blackmoor back to human control under Uther, given that the elves seem to have decided humans can't be left in charge of the Castle and Dungeons in particular. Perhaps Uther is part elvish....
The list of Barons seems pretty well done, although I'm not too keen on equating names to non BM sources and I'm personally sticking with the Baron Regscott/Egg of Coot story for the ID traitor in my SWA campaign, but that's just me.
