I looked up some Hammerfell stuff and it says in 4E 200 he was kidnapped and turned into a Draugr. Any info about this. I'm no lore buff

King Felid? Never heard of him. You weren't reading the Skyrim Wikia, were you? That site is terrible.

UESP is more for gameplay. They are okay with lore.

http://www.imperial-library.info/ for your go to lore of anything.

That would explain it. While the UESP has it's problems (most prominently in the editorial bias of it's administrators), the wikia is by a far one of the worst sources for Elder Scrolls information. On several occasions, people from this forum have encountered actual fan-fiction on their site, masquerading as "lore." It simply shouldn't be used.

4E 200 - Kidnapping of http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Felid?action=edit&redlink=1
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Felid?action=edit&redlink=1, A mighty young king, was kidnapped by http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Nord travellers. Later it turns out that he has been turned into a http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Draugr_Death_Overlord.

No sources referenced on the page either, looks like it's another piece of information like their Elder Council one.

The only reference I can find is on the TES wiki's Hammerfell article.

This likely indicates origin the mind of an anonymous wiki editor rather than Beth.
