The Emperor of Rome is dead. His two sons Saturninus and Bassianus are democratically fighting for the throne and as Saturninus is the first born he argues that he has the right as first born to have the title of the throne. However as they are quarrelling they are silenced by the tribunes of the people. Marcus Andronicus then announces that the people of Rome have elected his brother Titus Andronicus as the emperor of Rome.
Titus however through modesty doesn’t accept the this title and gives it to Saturninus and appoints his daughter to be his bride
