Best Answer

Leonidas I, King of Sparta son of Anaxandridas II was born in the year 520 BCE. He died in 480 BCE at the age of 40 in the battle defending the pass at Thermopylae with his 300 bodyguards, 2,000 of their serf-light infantry, and 700 Thespians, against the invading Persian army. They held out to the last, a sacrifice to let 4,000 Greeks soldiers from allied cities escape to friendly walls before the Persian cavalry could break through and ride them down in open country.
