The Treditional Warriors

A Warrior is a person engaged or experienced in warfare or figuratively a person who shows or has shown great vigor, courage, or aggressiveness.

  2. Pier Gerlofs Donia
  3. The Unknown Warrior
  4. Famous Women Warriors

One very intersting topic of "woman warrior" is very close to the hearts of the historians and scholars of anthropology and feminism.
The portrayal of women as warriors has been studied in literature, films, feminist and cultural studies. In fictional works, the character type often refers to a strong female personality, determined in pursuit of her goals and often eager to take on typical Men's Work like fighting wars or performing manual labour to accomplish those goals. When of a royal background, a woman warrior may be called a warrior princess. Some famous are

  1. Joan of Arc
  2. Raani Jhansi
  3. Razia Sultan

Joan Of Ark

Knights

A knight is a "gentleman soldier" or member of the Warrior Class of the Middle Ages specially Europe and in different parts of the world. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider are more prevalent (viz French chevalier, in Muslim India "Sawaar", Portuguese cavaleiro, Spanish caballero, Italian cavaliere, Polish kawaler for modern knights and rycerz for medieval knights, German Ritter, Scandinavian and Dutch ridder, Czech rytíř and Finnish ritari), suggesting a connection to the knight's legendary mode of transport.

In the long lits of Warriors and Knights there are many common people as well as the noblity of that time also comes in the erena of warfare. Here are few names from all over the world which have earned immortal fame and recognition for Warriorship and Knighthood.

  5. Knigts of Templers
  6. Changese Khan
  7. Tamer Lane (Temoor)
