		The title of viscount is less common in Italy ("visconte"), or in Spain and Portugal ("vizconde"), though the noble Visconti family, rulers of Milan, offer an outstanding example.
		In British practice, the title of a viscount may be either a placename, or a surname, or, as is more often the case, a combination thereof.
		In any event, the style of a viscount is "The Viscount X," or "The Viscount X of Y." Examples include: The Viscount Falmouth (placename); The Viscount Hardinge (surname); The Viscount Gage of Castle Island (surname of placename); and The Viscount Combermere of Bhurtpore (placename of placename).
