What are facts about samurai?

Answer 1

They followed the code of Bushido, "The Way of the Warrior". They are usually considered a privileged class. They were much like knights were to lords in Dark Age Europe; they owned land that was derived from their daimyo, or warlord, whom they would fight for in battle.

Samurai were the backbone of Japanese feudal society. Samurai were loyal to their daimyo, since the daimyo was the leader of given clan, which was one of the social basis of Japanese society.

They wore highly effective multi-layered armor and fought with probably the best made swords in the world, using one of the best techniques in the world.
