Haha. But in all honesty, it was actually a fun episode. Not like that knight and pirate thing, which wasn't as good.

I view this as an epic troll by the History Channel. Have they aired the infamous "Knight v. Samurai" yet?

Knight would obviously win that. Samurai would be torn apart. There weapons and armor couldnt match the knights design. Samurai armor would be wrecked by the blunt force trauma knight believed in. Samurais sword while superior quality would have no effect being a slashing weapon. Then the european destrier against samurais steeds (if they even had one), they would be bowled over. Finally sure samurai has a bow but it probably wouldnt be effective enough.

My moneys on the knight in plate armor wielding a spiked morningstar.

i almost guarantee they give it to the samurai because he can meditate.

That's my boy!

Well, they did that here and the Samurai won IIRC, I think he could get through the obstacle course faster and when hung onto a puppet his armour could withstand an arrow.
Then again knight is not knight, the first armoured riders of the Franks were certainly different from the knights in the first crusade and the ones with plate armour.
Did I already mention that someone posted a good comparison by a guy who knows a lot about swordfighting?

I guess it was this one: http://www.thearma.org/essays/knightvs.htm (incidentally the first google result)

In a shocking twist, it was Viking vs. Samurai, for reasons that could only be attributed to an attraction to the mystic of the East and an interest in big flipping axes.
