I'd argue for the following:

Napoleon I of France
Frederick II "the Great" of Prussia
Peter I "the Great" of Russia
Henry IV of France
Albert "the Great" of Wessex/England
Louis XIV of France
Charles V of Austria/Holy Roman Empire, Carlos II of Spain
Pope Julius II (Warrior Pope +10)
Don Juan of Austria
Karl XII of Sweden
Gustavus Augustus of Sweden


The list goes on, and on, and on, and on.

Victoria looks as if she couldn't be bothered with life.

3 guesses to who my favorite leader is ;)

Victoria always wore black after her beloved husband Albert died. That's for about six decades, if I'm not mistaken.

At least she looks into the camera. Until the 1900s it seems the fashion of photographing was: Look in every general direction but the photographer.

It shows superiority: When you look as if you have got more important stuff to do, you are important, especially since taking a picture like that was a special event.

Leonidas, a big part of the Greek army fled, he, quite some spartans and a small part of the greek army stood their ground and killed quite some Persians even though they got trapped because of a traitor that showed the Persions a secret route.

Wow they should really make a graphic novel out of that, then turn it into a film featuring the likes of Gerard Butler, Lena Headey and Dominic West!

Leonidas did fight and die at Thermopylae, but I believe you have the rest of the story messed up. Most historians presently agree that the withdraw of most of the Greek forces (excluding around 300 Spartans and 1000 Thespians) was planned out. The rearguard of Spartans and Thespians were in place to enable the other Greek hoplites to escape to their respective city states, and to live to fight another day. Regretfully, soldiers belonging to one of the city states had previously abandoned the mountain pass leading to the Greek flank, which triggered this withdraw (upon learning of this).

Let's also not forget the concurrent battle of Artemisium, where the Athenian/Greek Navy under Themistocles fought the Persian navy, and was forced to withdraw.

Did you honestly just use "300" as a valid historical source?
