The warriors in Europe were called Samurai and in Japan they were called Knights. Samurai and Knights were more different than alike. This can be shown by looking at three areas. The first area is the Codes of honor. Training is the second most important difference in history. Lastly, the third and final area of differences is the armor these warriors wear. To start off with, the first are of important differences was the samurai’s and knight’s codes of honor. Codes of honor and their loyalty to their feudal lord played a great part in separating a samurai from a knight. To receive a grant of land, an English or French nobleman knelt before his Lord and pledged loyalty and military support. in return, the Lord swore an oath of protection and granted a fief, or piece of land. This vassal thus became a Lord and, if his landholder was big enough, could grant pieces of his new estate to vassal knights for the same most of loyalty. Also, loyalty in Japan at the time was hereditary. Business of a feudal lord went from father to son. This made the relationship with the lord go on for generations. This agreement was at the time a voluntary one. Meaning that there was no contract
