[QUOTE="Boss, post: 2343647, member: 1247"] Actually, the correct version of the story is that their Samurai Lord was not used to the politics or behaviours of the Imperial Court, having been raised in the country. While at Court, he managed to be made a fool of by one of the othe Samurai Courtiers. Due to his ignorance and ill grace, he was forced to commit seppuku while the Courtier could not be blamed for anything, and it was traditional honorbound for the Samurai serving under him to likewise do so. They did not, instead, they spent the following years doing just as mentioned above, throwing away their reputations and honor to throw off the scent. Then, on a prearranged date, the ronin gathered at the residence of the Courtier that caused their masters dishonor, and slaughtered him and his men. Now criminals before the law, the 47 Ronin made their way to the grave of their master and presented before it the head of his enemy. They then all committed seppuku, regaining their honor they sat aside. In Samurai culture, the 47 Ronin are revered for their actions, for they showed their ultimate loyalty to their lord in the only way they could. [/QUOTE]
