Warriors: Knights VS Samurai:
Introduction:
For this ‘Japan Under the Shoguns’ assessment task, I have chosen Warriors: Knights VS Samurais. A knight is a mounted warrior of the feudal system of Europe. A samurai is a member of a powerful military caste in feudal Japan, especially a member of the class of military retainers of the daimyos.
Roles and responsibilities:
Knights had the responsibilities of fighting in the king’s army and leading troops of soldiers to war. Not only those responsibilities but knights also had to manage the peasants who were taking care of the farm and also to stopping the fights that might breakout. Knights had to do these for monarch or the king.
While samurais had the responsibilities of obeying their lord/daimyo, had the rights to speak out on bad judgments or orders and lawbreakers must not be hidden in any domain. Samurai had a bigger responsibility than knights where samurais must be ready to die at any time. Samurais had to do all of these for the daimyo.
Lifestyle:
Knights
Samurais
Code of honour
A knight had to follow the code of chivalry. Knights was expected to have the strengths and skills to face in the violent Middle Ages and was also expected to temper his aggressive side of a knight with a chivalrous side to his nature.
A true samurai had to follow the warrior code of bushido. Under bushido samurais had to be loyal to the daimyo, expected to defend to the death and learn several martial arts. These martial arts are: archery, the spear, fencing, horse riding, military strategy, use of firearms and techniques of jujutsu.
Weaponry
Knights had like a mace, battle-axe, spears and many more in terms of weaponry. Knights would use any weaponry, which is good to kill and carry.
Samurais had a type of sword named a Katana. These swords were the samurais to look after these swords, as it was their life and honour.
Armour
Knights had chain mail armour as their armour.
Samurais had short-sleeved kimonos, billowing
