i think he survived the whole thing
Leonidas was an ancient and legendary warrior king that led the Spartan soldiers in war. He was from Greece.
King Leonidas is remembered for his role in the Second Persian War. As Sparta did not participate in the First Persian War ten years earlier, it is most likely that any other fighting Leonidas did would have been against other Greeks.
Leonidas I, King of Sparta, is the king who died in a battle protecting Sparta from the Persian War.
He cut off his head as a sign of frustration for the Spartans fighting him.
died in war
King Leonidas sent most of his troops to safety. He and several hundred others, however, stayed behind and fought to the death.
There were several kings of Sparta, the most famous is either Leonidas(led the 300 Spartans at the famous battle of Thermoplylae) or Menalaus(king of the Spartans in the seige of Troy). There were two spartan kings at any one time, a peace king and a war king. The peace king took care of diplomatic negotiation, whilst the war king took command of battles and war.

XEREXER
Leonidas died because, an arrow went through his head and his enemies, cutes of his head, then burned it. also because he went to war.
It is known that King Leonidas of Sparta died at the Battle of Thermopylae in August, 480 BC. However very little is known about his formative years.
Xerxes didn't cricify Leonidas. After he was killed in battle he had his head impaled on a pike. There is no record of any outcome of this act. Xerxes lost his war because of defeat in the sea battle of Salamis which had nothing to do with Leonidas.
