The king granted fiefs (portions of land) to nobles (lords or barons) in return for loyalty, protection and service. The king could also grant fiefs to vassals (knights) in exchange for military service.

The basis of samurai conduct is bushido, "the way of the warrior". This unique philosophy valued honour, reckless bravery and selflessness, as well as duty to the warrior's master with the purpose of giving up one's life and embracing death. There was no place for fear in the way of the warrior and this conduct of self discipline and respectful, ethical behaviour was to become the role model behaviour for other classes throughout Japan's history.

Final Battle

Based on the information I found, I think Samurai would beat the Knights. It would be a close a fight because knights have better armor but the samurai have better weapons. It seems as though the samurai had better training too. They both had similar beliefs in their cultures and ethics.
