To begin Knights and Samurai have a lot of common traits, but they also have differences. Traits that they both share are, they are warriors who protect their land. But a difference is that they have different weapons,armor,training and different religions.

piece of evidence that supports the claim is in document C1 founded by PBS states that “Samurai’s training mostly focused on physical training and practiced Bushido.” Samurai had to devote their life to his/her lord if he/she had to. Training was an advantage towards the knights in training,but there also was other advantages. A second area that knights would have an advantage in a battle is in their armor.

Another piece of evidence that supports the claim is in document D produced by The DBQ Project it states that “Samurai’s armor was all on their body except for their right arm.”This was because it would be easier to draw their bow,but a knight can easily cut off the samurai’s right arm. The armor for the knight was an advantage,but their are more advantages for knights. The final way that knights were stronger was their Honor Code. In document E produced by The DBQ Project states that “At a ceremony a knight would take a vow to true knighthood and to do know wicked deed.”Knights had to be loyal to the king, to give mercy to anyone who asks of it,and to fight for no wrong quarrel. It also states in document E produced by The DBQ Project states that “To dishonor knighthood would be a great disgrace;to prove themselves worthy of knightly honor by...Knights had to be strong,brave,courteous,loyal bearing under great diffculties was the highest end of the
living. Knights and Samurai have a lot in common, but there are some differences. Pages focused on skills and religion at an early age than the samurai. Knights had more protection than the samurai.
