He also saw a homeless ascetic Hindu monk, starving himself to find answers.
He saw a corpse being prepared for cremation..
These sights has inspired Siddhartha as much as it had shocked him. He became motivated and determined to find a solution through spiritual means, and since he was so inspired he had given up his prince hood, wealth, wife and son to seek this solution.
With the goal to attain enlightenment, Siddhartha's life had a big change as he practiced rigorous meditation and extreme fasting for 6 years, however, he came to the conclusion self-denial was not the path towards freedom from suffering. 
Siddhartha decided on the middle way: a life with moderation. He sat underneath the Bodhi tree. As Siddhartha fell into a trance he was tempted by Mara, the Lord of senses, however, he did not succumb to his words and kept going to the path of enlightenment.
At some point Siddhartha reached a higher state of mind and was finally able to truly understand the Noble truths. This revelation finally allowed him to abandon his desire and ignorance and was able to reach his goal of enlightenment.
With this new wisdom, Siddhartha, who was now known as the Buddha, spent 45 years spreading his wisdom. At the age of 80, he had passed into Nirvana and his body was cremated , however, even though he has passed his teachings and wisdom is still spread to this day and became one of the worlds largest religions - Buddhism.
