Also if the King or Commander actually did have to engage enemies on the front lines, he had 20 men watching his back. Every other soldier had to fend for themselves, or maybe had 1 or 2 guys that may step in to protect them. You better bet that when the king was in the fray all the surrounding men had a corner of their eye pinned on the king to see if he needed aid. So he had less chance of being stabbed in the back, and many would probably take an arrow for him.
