Past Hortators

Do we know of any past Hortators? Gothren, Archmagister of Great House Telvanni as of 3E 427 (The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind) says: "As any educated Dunmer knows, all the Telvanni councilors would need vote to choose a Hortator, and the vote would have to be unanimous. It's an archaic tradition, not invoked since I was an apprentice. Since a Hortator's duty is to lead a Great House in war, and we haven't had a war in a very long time, we have no need of a Hortator"

So, my question is when was the last time a Hortator was elected? Or if we don't know (as I am sure we don't) when the last Hortator arose, does anybody have any guesses as to when the last war or time when a Hortator would most likely be needed/elected? I was also wondering if there would have been a Hortator elected for the Imperial Invasion in 1E 2812 (or there abouts) as well.
