Sammanfattning: This study will investigate whether knights' and samurais’ practical skillsbuild on the same core beliefs and values.To do so, I will try to summarise the practical skills and equipment of knightsand samurai respectively with a focus on historical accuracy to establish ageneral picture of the methods of war for both.The essay will then use that picture as a springboard to compare the twowhile staying limited to the practical aspect. This comparison will then usemilitary history science principles to interpret the core of knight and samuraiwarfare respectively and should they be different, try to investigate if there isa plausible practical reason that explains the deviation from the values or if itis more likely to be a difference in beliefs between them.
