	Count - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Military counts in the Late Empire and the Germanic successor kingdoms were often appointed by a dux and later by a king.
		From the start the count was in military charge, not of a roving warband, but settled in a locality, a countship, his main rival for power being the bishop, whose diocese was often coterminous.
		Count is one of the nobiliary titles granted by the Pope of Rome as temporal sovereign (of the Papal State), and is thus often known as Roman count.

	Count Did You Mean count
		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.

		The word ´´count´´ comes from French ´´comte´´, itself from Latin ´´comes´´— in its accusative ´´comitem´´— meaning "companion, bound (by oath)", and later "bound to the emperor, delegate of the emperor".
		This other kind of count had vague 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),
		The word ´´Count´´ is also used, somewhat conventionally, to render in English (as in other western languages) various ranks and offices in non-christian -mainly oriental- cultures, such as that of Japan under the Shogunate.
