Cleombrotus II., the 30th king of Sparta of the Agiad line, was of the royal race, though not in the direct male line. He was also the son-in- law of Leonidas II., in whose place he was made king by(the party of Agis IV. about 243 BC. On the return of Leonidas, Cleombrotus was deposed and banished to Tegea, about 240 BC. He was accompanied into exile by his wife Chei lonis, through whose intercession with her father his life had been spared, and who is mentioned as a conspicuous example of conjugal affection. He left two sons, Agesipolis and Cleomenes, of whom the former became the father and the latter the guardian of Agesipolis III. (Plut. Agis, 11, 16 —18 ; Paus. iii. 6 ; Polyb. iv. 35 ; Manso, Sparta, iii. 1, pp. 284,298.)
