 Companion: Livy Tullia
Tullia's father, either a Roman or Latin by birth and perhaps a royal former slave, assumed the kingship through the strategies of Tanaquil, wife of Rome's fifth king, Tarquinius Priscus, after her husband was murdered by the sons of Ancus Marcius, the fourth king of Rome (642-617 BCE).
In order to safeguard his kingship, Servius gave his two daughters, both named Tullia, in marriage to the two sons of Priscus and Tanaquil, Arruns and Lucius (later Tarquinius Superbus), whom he had displaced at their father's death as minors incapable of ruling.
Unlike Tanaquil, Tullia Minor was not content to manage affairs quietly behind the scenes; she harangued Lucius, the brother-in-law whom she took for her husband, into bloody deeds and boldly flaunted her power.
