There was a war in England, which resulted from trickery and an invasion by somebody who considered himself entitled to rule here, against the wishes of the Witan and the people.
That person did not care who the 'rebellious' English wanted to rule them...and the battle of Senlac Ridge ended any choice.
History is full of 'Rebels' because they choose not to be subjected to anothers will.....
William Wallace was a 'rebel' because he wanted Scotland to stay Scottish.
The Romans killed 'rebellious' tribal peoples, who objected to their invasions.
If the whole of your town votes differently to you...that makes you a 'rebel' - you dare to be different.
If your local supermarket closes down and you are the only one to constantly complain to the huge contracting company who are building a car park on the site, because you are asked to present the townspeoples case ...that makes you a 'rebel troublemaker'
A rebel is the person who says 'look here, I am speaking for those who are too scared or do not know how to speak - I am their spokesperson'.
Of course the Persians considered Leonidas a rebel...he stood in the way of what THEY wanted...or did it not occur to them, that if the Greeks had wanted Persians in their country, they would not have been fighting them...or were they just too arrogant and big headed to accept that..?

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
