The Spartan King ruled supremacy over his one hundred Spartan bodyguards. In fact, being part of the Kings squad held great honor and meant that they were as what they would call a true Spartan. During a war, only one of the kings went into battle while the other stayed in Sparta. This is evidently told by Herodotus as he states that this ‘conflict between Kings Cleomenes and Demaratus is what finalized this decision in a time around 507 BC. Following on, the King would generalize and plan out military campaigns.

After Louis’s father saw him come home regularly with bruises, his father decided to teach him how to defend himself. Then the problem quickly turned from him getting bullied, to him doing the bullying. This was only the start of Louis’ rebellious streak. Louis’s ethnicity played probably the biggest role in his rebellion. “In Torrance in the early 1920’s, Italians were held in such disdain that when the Zamperinis arrived, the neighbors petitioned the city council to keep them out” (Hillenbrand 8).
The Spartans were celebrating the Carneian festival, in honor of Apollo, as the Persians threatened to conquer them. Sadly, Spartan law forbid the army fight back during the festival, King Leonidas was only allowed to take his personal bodyguard and a few others to fight alongside him at Thermolypae.

Many of Crassus’ fellow soldiers tried to convince him to turn around, yet Crassus refused to listen to them, for he was confident that he was making the right decision. Once they finally reached the town of Carrhae, Crassus’ men were exhausted and were unable to fight when encountered by the Parthians.
He kept the Munich police file for years, as, he described it, 'a form of personal life insurance'. If Hitler had attempted to push him aside, he would have blackmailed him with the information, he said. The police documents were published some years ago in Rome by Eugen Dollmann, a close friend of Heinrich Himmler's and also Hitler's interpreter.
