Marcus Brutus had no intention of becoming king of Rome. One of the complaints against Caesar, whose assassination he participated in, was that by becoming Dictator for life he was trying to be king. Cassius was obsessively against anything smacking of kingship, and had Brutus tried anything like that, he would have been next candidate for the knife.
