Note
One spelling serves as both the past tense and the past participle, as it does for regular verbs generally. The verb takes three shapes. It can take the wrong or its victim as direct object (revenged the insult, revenged her family). It can be reflexive, with on or upon (she revenged herself on her rivals). An archaic intransitive use with no object at all now reads as old-fashioned.
He revenged himself on the men who had betrayed him.
She had revenged herself upon her rivals long before the trial began.
