If we think it in a realistic way, then there must've been long time gaps between events in the prologue. Some details would support my view, and Lloyd being Gwyn's uncle is one of them.

It was said in one of the interviews that Gwyn and his kin have the tradition to consume fallen companions' souls in battle, which Nameless King also performed when his companion drake fell. So we know Gwyn's clan (whatever it is) has such a tradition, and traditions don't come out from nowhere in weeks. Likewise, the daughters of Chaos will not master fire sorceries in one day, Gwyn won't be able to found his army out of a world of void in no time. It is almost certain that the Lords took considerable time building power before challenging the dragons if we take all these into consider; thus similarly, other events are not likely to happen in short successions. The four lord souls don't even have to had been found all at once!

Depending on how you interprete it, the prologue could also mean that the lords were already what they looked like before they found the lord souls - Gwyn already had his knights and Anor Londo before he found his lord soul. Dark Souls 1 tend to make all information ambiguous and conservative, that these information can often be interpreted in more than one ways.
