 Count - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A count is a nobleman in most European countries, equivalent in rank to a British earl, whose wife is still a "countess" (for lack of an Anglo-Saxon term).
From the start the count was in military charge, not of a roving warband, but settled in a locality, a county, his main rival for power being the bishop, whose diocese was often coterminous.
In the UK a count or earl is often a courtesy title for the eldest son of a duke.

In Italy, all the sons of a count are counts (contini); in the United Kingdom stringent rules apply, often a future heir has a lower ranking courtesy title.

 DAUPHIN - LoveToKnow Article on DAUPHIN
The canting arms of a dolphin, which they quartered with the royal fleurs de lys, were originally assumed by Dauphin, count of Clermont, instead of the arms of Auvergne (the earliest extant example is appended to a deed of 1199), and from him they were borrowed by the counts of the Viennois.
The eldest son of the French king was sometimes called the king dauphin (le roy daulphin), to distinguish him from the dauphin of Auvergne,who was known,since Auvergne became an appanage of the royal house, as the prince dauphin.
The dauphinate of Auvergne, which is to be distinguished from the county, dates from 1155, when William VII., count of Auvergne, was deposed by his uncle William VIII.

But the connection between the king and the marchioness of Verneuil appears to have been very displeasing to Auvergne, and in 1601 he engaged in the conspiracy formed by the dukes of Savoy, Biron and Bouillon, one of the objects of which was to force Henry to repudiate his wife and marry the marchioness.
Auvergne after a few months' imprisonment was released, chiefly through the influence of his half-sister, his aunt, the duchess of Angouleme and his father-in-law.
Angouleme is the seat of a bishop, a prefect, and a court of assizes.

Auvergne was integrated in turn into the appanages of Alphonse of Toulouse (1241-1271) and of John of Berry (1360-1416).
What is by convenience called the dauphinate of Auvergne was in reality the remnant of the county of Auvergne after the usurpation of count William VII the Young around 1155 by his uncle William VIII the Old.
The title of dauphin of Auvergne was derived from William VII's mother, who was the daughter of the dauphin of Viennois, Guigues IV.

When the counts of Toulouse recovered their authority from the slipping grasp of Bernard Plantevelue and his family, they instituted a similar system in their domains, where Count Eudes associated with himself his son Raymond of Rouergue as count over a portion of his honores and a little later another son, Ermengaud, as well.

 Aquitaine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The title of duke of Aquitaine, which had already been used by various little-known persons in the 7th century, was assumed at the end of the 9th by William I the Pious, count of Auvergne, the founder of the Abbey of Cluny.
In the first half of the 10th century the counts of Auvergne, of Toulouse, and of Poitiers each claimed this ducal title, but it was eventually secured by William I, count of Poitiers (William III of Aquitaine).
The powerful house of the counts of Poitiers retained Aquitaine during the 10th and 11th centuries, endeavouring from time to time to restore to the name its former significance by extending the boundaries of the duchy to include Gascony and Toulouse.

European countries, equivalent in rank to a British earl, whose wife is still a "countess" (for lack of an Anglo-Saxon term).
In many Germanic and Frankish kingdoms in the early Middle_Ages, the count might also be a count_palatine, whose authority derived directly from the royal household, the "palace" in its original sense of the seat of power and administration.
This other kind of count had antecedents in Late_Antiquity too: the father of Cassiodorus held positions of trust with Theodoric, as ''comes rerum privatarum'', in charge of the imperial lands, then of ''comes sacrarum largitionum'' (concerned with the strictly monetary fiscal matters of the realm) http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/jod/texts/cassbook/chap1.html,

B. Bernard (I) of Auvergne’s death is usually placed in 868, because of the Warin (II) documented as count and lay abbot of Brioude in 868-9.
In the entry for 819 in the Royal Frankish Annals and in a parallel passage in the Astronomer, there is reference to a Warin count of Auvergne, who with the assistance of Berengar of Toulouse put to flight the Gascon leader Loup Centulle.
The margravial title demonstrates sufficiently that one Warin was count of both Mâcon and Auvergne, and it appears with Warin (I), Bernard (I), in part with Warin (II, inferred son of the preceding), and with Bernard (II), William (I, his son), and William (II, nephew of preceding).

 The Development of Southern French and Catalan Society, 718-1050
Their claims to Auvergne resulted in an enmity between their house and the heirs of Bernard Plantevelue, who controlled this region during the first years of the tenth century.
But they probably sought other allies also, and this was the cause of that marriage alliance with the family of the Bernards of Auvergne, which finally resulted in Acfred II of Carcassonne-Razès succeeding William II as count of Auvergne in the 920's.
Its counts seem to have maintained a close alliance with the Western Aquitanian noble house of Angoulême-Périgord, whom they tied to their house by a marriage alliance and the concession of the county of Agen, which also linked them to that associated noble house descended from Ermenon.
