Both European medieval knights and Japanese samurai warriors pledged oaths of loyalty to their respective lords or masters. This feudal loyalty was central to their roles, as knights served noble lords in exchange for land and protection, while samurai adhered to the Bushido code, which emphasized honor, duty, and allegiance to their daimyo. These oaths underscored their commitment to serve and protect their leaders, often at the cost of their own lives. The honor associated with these vows was crucial to both warrior cultures.
Oh, dude, like, only knights in Europe were known for jousting tournaments and wearing those shiny armor suits, while Japanese samurai were all about their katanas and honor codes. So, yeah, knights were all about chivalry and stuff, while samurai were more into bushido and serving their lords. But hey, at the end of the day, they both rocked some pretty cool swords, am I right?

There were a very large number of armored soldiers, but I suspect you are asking about the Mounted Warriors that symbolize the Medieval Era, and those would be the Knights.
