The Samurai were warrior-nobles in Japanese society, with a strong honour code called bushido. The name 'Samurai' means 'ones who serve'. Before the 1550s the Samurai were fierce warriors attached to a daimyo or lord, whom they were loyal to and fought for.
A Samurai, or even a family of Samurai, were often retainers to a Daimyo and frequently maintained that relationship for generations. This relationship might only be broken by the death or dishonouring of one or the other. The Daimyo owed his allegiance to the Shogun, the Samurai owed his allegiance to the Daimyo. In that way, loyalties were usually maintained. In times of war, the Samurai classes were the Officers of the army.
