Daimyo were the equivalent of lords. They answered only to the Shogun,and had total power over their underlings. From the 10th Century to the middle of the 19th Century, they were Japan's powerful ruling class.
Hey
A daimyo was the master of a samurai. The Daimyo were the provincial rulers of feudal japan, similar to European Lords. They came in many different ranks and served under the shogun. They paid samurai underlings with rice or land, to fight for them (master-less samurai were looked down upon, and called 'ronin'.) They were themselves samurai the same way, barons, dukes, and other lords were knights, and Daimyos were supposed to follow the code of Bushido. Their duty was to govern an area, provide justice, and serve the Shogun
Daimyo (lit. Great Name), were the successors of the Shogun from their Shoen system in Japan. These Daimyo would go on to control entire provinces and would often give land as rewards for service.
He established an alternate attendance system known as sankin kotai. This required daimyo to live alternately between their domain and Edo. The Tokugawa Bakufu also required that the daimyo maintained a permanent residence in Edo and required that their families live there. Tokugawa Ieyasu also enforced a strict castle building and destruction system. He required daimyo to destroy certain castles in their domains if there were found to be too many. Conversely, when a new castle was being built, he would require daimyo provide materials for it's construction. Needless to say, this was a huge economic strain on them.

During the 1300s, the old fedual order in Europe began to break down. Trade and indrustry began to grow. This weakened the manor system of feudal society.

patroon system in new Netherlands. :)
Shoguns made all of the Daimyo's family move to a certain area. The Daimyo's Samurai were responsible for the Daimyo's land. The family had to stay in the area forever. The Daimyo could leave every other year to check on their land. The Shogun wouldn't let all the Daimyo leave at once because he was scared that they'd revolt against him. He made the family stay when the Daimyo left to check on his land. They were "hostages."

One major result of the sankin kotai system was that it kept regional daimyo subservient to the bakufu. Forcing alternating attendance between their domains and Edo proved to be a great economic strain to the daimyo. The funds needed to maintain their residences in both Edo and their daimyo, not to mention the cost of traveling to and from Edo with their contingent, was exacting, to say the least.
There is no such thing as "the EUROPEAN criminal system" Every country which makes up the continent of Europe has its own unique laws. SOme are similar to the US and many are not.
The daimyo class was the middle class in the Japanese feudal system. The shoguns were above and the peasants were below.

The plague affected normal business and life of the capital by taking out many workers, clergy and nobility, which resulted in the weakening of the fedual system of castes.
