Going back and watching some of my favorite episodes of Clone Wars and came across the episode where Maul and Opress took on and got brutalized by Sidious.

So if we go by Mando lore, to rule you had to have the dark sabre, to gain possession of the Dark Sabre you had to take it in combat.

So in the Clone Wars. Pre Vizla had the Dark Sabre, in effect he was the rightful ruler of Mandalore. though he lead the terrorist Death Watch. Maul took the Dark Sabre from him becoming the rightful ruler of Mandalore. Then Sidious comes to town. Kicks the crap out of Maul and ends up with the Dark Sabre. Which he quickly looks at, says Meh, pretty much throws it over his shoulder and walks out.

When Maul gets rescued, he eventually recovers the Dark Saber. then at somepoint he loses it and it ends up on Dathomir where Sabine recovers it. Eventually gives it to Bo, Who then surrenders it to Gideon. It goes to Mando, then the android worm thing, and Bo takes it.

At that point nobody but Sidious is actually the ruler of Mandalore, since its history after that is based around look who picked this thing off of the ground.
