There is a discrepancy in the history of Servius Tullius. One tradition says he was born in Etruria under the name Mastarna and accompanied Caelius Vibenna to Rome where he usurped power - this explains why he never had a lex curiata. In a different telling Serivus Tullius grew up as a servant in Rome and when his hair caught fire as a child, the queen at the time took it as an omen that he would later become king. After the king died, the queen kept it quiet and ensured that Servius Tullius became king even though Tarquinius Priscus had a son.
