"Lord Gwyn recognized the foresight of these four great leaders of New Londo, and granted them their ranks and the fragments of a great soul."

The soul was given to the Four Kings by Gwyn. Gwyn feared the Dark and the humans, which was why he linked the Flame, and would've most definitely not given even a small piece of the Dark Soul to anyone. If he had found a part of it, he would've most likely tried to destroy or hide it.
