 [|FEUDALISM] BY SHELBY

 **EUROPE AND JAPAN FEUDALISM** The English and Japanese feudal systems are similar in that they both gave grants of land for military service, and the social ladders were similar. After that point, they differ. In the English feudal system, to get grants of land one must swear an oath of fealty to one's lord, but in the Japanese system that was not required. The military classes for both feudal systems lived by a code of honor yet with different goals. They had different monetary gains, and the armor they wore was different. Japanese peasants (shiki) had a little more freedom than the English peasants (serfs) because they could own land. Both warrior classes were inspired to fight by religion but differently, the knights for God’s glory and the Samurai for their own. By Rit Nosotro
