And as far as standard equipment, for Richard of course his one handed or one and half handed sword, along with kite shield, and a Danish Axe (yes he used a Danish Axe) and I guess a little dagger on the side, whatever armor he used.
Mushashi, two katanas as he was apparently a consistent duel wielder, a wakizashi for the side and a Yari spear I suppose, and whatever armor or clothing he wore to battle.
Richard the Lionheart was such a vicious sodomite of a man that I foresee this ended with Musashi mounted by the Lion and with a ballgag in his mouth, stifling all his cries, but unable to hide his tears of pain.
Not to like, root for the Samurai or anything, but I'm pretty sure that Musashi was famous for ingenuity and quick thinking in battle. Though I think Samurai duels had lots of prep time.

Getting a fever and dying from a random crossbow bolt. But not at the same time.

As far as cuts go yes, but its still going to hurt getting hit by a 2-3 lb sword. That's just as much as a baseball bat weighs actually.
Musashi however, was accustomed to fighting the same kinda opponents. He has not, to my knowledge, ever dueled a sword + shield user, or an axe + shield user.

The bat is weighted differently, though, with the weight concentrated at the end. Slashing swords didn't distribute weight in this way, not quite the same thing.

But you wouldn't know as you rest your head.
He didn't get killed in battle, it was some shooting random bolts over the castle during peace time, it struck his shoulder, and the wound became infectious after removing the bolt.
A.) I never said he died in battle, B.) it wasn't peace time. He was besieging the castle Châlus-Chabrol, when he was killed by a lone defending crossbowman during an inspection of the sappers.

1. I never said you did. I was clarifying on a vague statement.
2. Peacetime. Reprieve. Whatever you want to call it, they were not dressed for battle. And he was also able to have the crossbowman, a boy, be brought before him.
You call a siege 'peacetime'? Send me a copy of your thesaurus, it's probably inside out.

I'm going to have to go with Musashi on this one. He killed his first samurai when he was 13, and he was never defeated in combat. I'm trying to find credible sources on this, but it is said he defeated/killed 60 men in duels before he retired from fighting.
He also participated in 6 wars, developed his own school of martial arts. One occasion he duelled against several senior students and the master of a martial arts school at the same time, managed to kill the master, and make his "tactical retreat". Richard may have seemed like a lunatic, but I can't find any records of him killing a man when he himself was 13.
