And on their way, on their journey, an eagle swoops down from the skies and steals his hat. And it's just, it's such an incongruous moment. Like if this happened, can you imagine just walking along and then there's these blimmin' talons in your hair? It'd be horrible. But Taniquil's quick thinking and she kind of spins this as actually you are destined for great things.

You have been chosen by the eagle. We can see all this Roman symbolism coming in really nicely. Lucius Tarquinius and his wife Taniquil, they end up in Rome. They make all the big moves. They persuade the population that they are so wonderful and they get voted in as king in about 16 to 579. That's his reign, supposedly, if we go with Livy's dates. And he gets this new name.

He calls himself Lucius Toquinius Priscus. It's all going great until he gets murdered because that's what happens to kings in Rome. The throne doesn't stay with his children. It doesn't go directly to his two sons. It goes to another person, this new king, Servius Tullius. But Tanaquil's quite canny.

Servius Tullus has only got daughters and it's her, supposedly, who arranges for these two daughters to marry her two sons. So she's canny, but she's not that canny because she marries them to the wrong ones. She has this personality mismatch emerges from the sources. And it seems like the younger daughter, Talia Minor, is quite ambitious.

You will see this again and again with these figures in Roman history, these women who are ambitious and powerful. They want power for themselves. And she gets married to Taniquil's son, Aarons, who seems to be, from all accounts, a bit of a wimp. He's quite gentle.

And I don't know if this is kind of a misplaced optimism that maybe opposites will attract, but it definitely doesn't work in this case. Talia manages to persuade her sister's husband, Tarquinius Superbus. He ends up being called Superbus anyway. After all of this happens, he gives himself this shiny new name. Where have we seen that before? Why not? If you can, maybe you should.

And he's ambitious too, but he's married to her sister, who is kind of, again, a more gentle, retiring flower type of personality. So the two of them scheme off together, get rid of their spouses. Slightly problematic thing to do, but it only gets worse because they then go on to overthrow her father.
