c. 510 BC Anger was festering among the nobility, and when the king's son, Sextus Tarquinius raped Lucetia, the wife of the noble Collatinus and she subsequently killed herself, Brutus took advantage of the fact that Tarquinius Superbus was with the army at Ardea to initiate a revolution. A new constitution was adopted under which there is a dual magistracy of two consuls. The first two consuls elected were Lucius Junius Brutus and Lucisu Tarquinius Collatinus. Brutus made the people swear never to have a king again. Brutus forced Tarquinius Collantinus to resign his consulship and go into exile. The vacant consulship was filled by Publius Valerius. Brutus detected and crushed an early conspiracy to restore Tarquin to the throne. Tarquin then raised an army using his own resources and support from Tarquinii and Veii. The subsequent battle was indecisive, but Tarquin was not successful in his attempt.
