Ronin are masterless samurai. Chushingura is the true story of 47 samurai who became masterless in 1701, after their lord had been forced to commit ritual suicide (seppuku) for assaulting a court official who had insulted him. They avenged him by killing the court official after patiently planning for over a year. They were themselves then forced to commit seppuku. Date: between 1895 and 1903.
