Who are all the Kings that led their army from the frontline?

Discussion/Question

I was watching a documentary of how Alexander the Great was always the one to lead the cavalry charge and i got curious, i know of King Leonidas at that famous battle of Thermopylae but thats it.

And was Alexander the only one to survive all those battles fighting in the front?
