It seems like forever since the actual leaders of empires participated in battle. I don’t mean LBJ picking bombing targets from the Oval Office or Hitler trying to command the movements of armies from his bunker, I mean participating in such a way that their own violent death was a real possibility.
English kings haven’t done so since probably George II. Napoleon is probably the last example anywhere in the world (among major empires that is)
