Who is more important knights or lords?

Answer 1

Knights were a central part of European feudalism during the middle ages. They were often land owning vassals (class who were given grants of land by the Lord in extange for military protection and the overseeing of farmland ran by peasants), as they were the only ones with enough wealth to purchase the armour, sword, shield and horse required. They provided protecion for the Lord who had several other vassals. The various lords were then loyal to a king although the lords had the true power. The key thing to remember is that knights were part of a military-land power relationship in medeival Europe. (this same structure can be found in feudal Japan if you feel the urge to look further)

Answer 2

Both knights and lords played crucial roles in medieval society. Knights were skilled warriors who protected the realm and fought in battles, while lords held power and authority over land and villages, overseeing the daily lives of the people. The importance of each group depended on the specific context and time period within medieval history.
