Umm.... What evidence in the game made you think that anyway, am i missing something that made you think that Vendrick could of been the chosen undead. Then general idea is that Vendrick "defeated the Four Great Ones" and used their power to build his kingdom.

He also had possession of the First Flame (Throne of Want) and the Lordvessel can be found in Majula. The theory involves heavy speculation, that Vendrick is the Chosen Undead that defeated the Gwyn, Seathe, Witch of Izalith, and Nito, then used their powers to build Drangleic where Lordran once stood.

The problem with this theory, is that Drangleic was not build immediately after the events of Dark Souls, and that in fact countless other kingdoms were built where Drangleic stand now. The idea that the Chosen Undead, waited countless centuries (or even millenia) after the events of Dark Souls to build Drangleic, is entirely proposterous.
