What happens with normal troops when their only leader was killed by an assasin before the battle began? Do they route quickly or do they fight almost as well as if they had a commander?

Troops without a commander will rout on the first round of battle. I've never suffered through the particular circumstance you've described, but I have seen this happen to troops I've left sitting in a province with no commander and no province defense. This fact is (I assume) part of the reason why people recommend setting the PD in every province you own to at least 1 (since 1 gives you a commander).
