The early kings of Alba Longa are completely fictional but Livy does record a few details and the deeds that is attributed to each king.

When Aeneas died his son, Ascanius was not old enough to take the throne so Lavinia (Aeneas's wife) who ruled until he reached an age where he could become king, Ascanius is credited with building the actual town of Alba Longa as a settlement away from the town of Lavinium and peace treaties were signed with the Etruscans and the Mezentius with the border agreed to be the River Albula (which is now known as the Tiber).

 Ascanius was succeeded by his son Silvius, who by some chance had been born in the forest. He became the father of Aeneas Silvius, who in his turn had a son, Latinus Silvius. He planted a number of colonies: the colonists were called Prisci Latini. The surname of Silvius was common to all the remaining kings of Alba, each of whom succeeded his father. Their names are Alba, Atys, Capys, Capetus, Tiberinus who was drowned in crossing the Albula, and his name transferred to the river, which became henceforth the Tiber. Then came his son Agrippa, after him his son Romulus Silvius. He was struck by lightning and left the crown to his son Aventinus, whose shrine was on the hill which bears his name and is now a part of the city of Rome. He was succeeded by Proca, who had two sons, Numitor and Amulius. To Numitor, the elder, he bequeathed the ancient throne of the Silvian house. Violence, however, proved stronger than either the father's will or the respect due to the brother's seniority; for Amulius expelled his brother and seized the crown. Adding crime to crime, he murdered his brother's sons and made the daughter, Rea Silvia, a Vestal virgin; thus, under the presence of honouring her, depriving her of all hopes of issue.
