Which kings/leaders are you referring to?
According to the movies, stay alive. But looking at the reigns of the kings, a few were deposed or killed soon after assuming the crown, but many ruled decades. So I am not so keen on what the movies present.
I suspect since these were pagan societies, and the king was really a king-priest (of divine origin), was just ruling in the face of everyday problems: food, shelter, climate.
