Chi Cago 9-12

Tarquin seized power like a tyrant, the story is that Tarquin's Grandfather dies and his widow likes Servius Tulias a lot and names him as king. He has two daughters one of which marry Tarquin and the other his brother. One of the sisters, Tullia, murder both her sister and his brother and is free to marry Tarquin. Tullia persuades Tarquin into stealing the throne from her father. Tarquin sits on the throne and declared himself king. S. T. tried to object, but was thrown down the stairs into the street and inevitably assassinated by Tarquin. Tullia hails Tarquin, but he sends her home for safety. As Tullia is riding home she spots her father's body in the street, takes the reigns of her carriage and runs over his body. Tarquin refused to ever dispose of or bury S. T.'s and would murder and senators who objected. Later on Tarquin's son, Sextus, tried to force himself onto a girl, Lucretia, and when she rejects his advances he threatens to kill her and cover it up by saying she was found in the arms of a slave. She gave into the threats, and afterwards confesses everything to his family and commits suicide. Tarquin originally tried to hide it and keep it away from public eye, but this didn't go over well as the people of Rome began to rebel and had the family expelled from Rome. The people's surprise at the family's awful behavior shaped the Roman's into the belief that they shall never be subject to a harsh king's rule ever again. They were able to maintain this for many centuries.
