Question

A Major Difference between japanese samurai and european knights during the middle ages is that only knights:

A provided military protection for the ruling class
B wore protective armor and carries swords
C recieved land in payment for their service
followed a distinct code of honor

Answer 1

the answer I think is that they received land as payment because the daimyo's didn't have to pay taxes and had a private army of samurais that attacked other daimyos to gain extra land that's why there were many different more powerful families.

Answer 2

"C recieved land in payment for their service" would be the correct answer. The Samurai did not work for land, however the Knights did.
