I refuse to believe st.alessia had a child with morihaus. it is heretical! IMO, belharza probably claimed to be the result of a union between them to claim legitimacy to the throne. And he met a deserving end, at the tips of elven spears.
It is for that reason i support Tyronius Liore’s work “The truth of Minotaurs”
Although i have a different hypothesis than him on their origin, rather than “spell or alchemical process gone awry”.
My hypothesis is that the minotaurs are the result of morihaus copulating with multiple cattle on the farms they passed by while on campaign during Alessia’s slave rebellion. As we know that minotaurs began to show up in greater numbers around that time. Minotaurs engage in cattle like behavior where the dominate male gets all breeding rights. It is impossible to reconcile the dramatic increase in population during the time of alessia’s reign, and the human reproductive cycle.
My belief is that morihaus laid claim to harems of dairy cows and when he left mundus, his son belharza took the throne after alessia’s passing, and then to cement his claim to the imperial throne he not only claimed demi-divine origin but also claimed to be heir of alessia. He then took both claims; the latter being false, and then began a propaganda campaign through out the land we now know as Cyrodil.

Please comment your thoughts and opinions on my hypothesis
