There were said to be 7 Kings of Rome before the establishment of the Roman Republic in 509 B.C. Due to the sack of Rome by the Gaul's in 390 B.C., we only know the names of 4. The first was Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome and the last 3 were the Etruscan's; Lucious Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullius and Lucious Tarquinius Superbus (Tarquin the Proud).
According to Livy (Titus Livius), it was when Tarquin's son, Sextus Tarquinius, raped Lucretia, a woman who was said to embody all that was virtuous in a Roman women, that set off the revolt that threw off the reign of Kings in Rome.
This was a founding principle of the Roman Republic. The Roman people would forever rule themselves, under Roman Law, not be ruled by the whims of a King.
It worked pretty well for about 500 years until Julius Ceaser declared himself "dictator for life", found himself murdered, and his grand-nephew Octavius finally defeated the "conservatives" of the senate (Pompey, Kato, Cicero, etc.) and was declared Augustus, first Emperor of Rome (not King).
