  Viscount - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A viscount is a member of the European nobility, especially, as in the British peerage, ranking above a baron, below a (British) earl or (his continental equivalent) count.
The children of a viscount are known as The Honourable [Forename] [Surname].
A British peculiarity is the use of Viscount as a courtesy title for peers of a higher level (Earl, Marquess or Duke).

 William Beaumont, 2nd Viscount Beamont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir William de Beaumont, 2nd Viscount Beaumont was the son of Sir John de Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont and Elizabeth Phelip.
At least one child was born to his mistress Jayne Stephens circa 1459, by the name of John Francis Beaumont.
Upon the death of Sir William, the Viscountcy of Beaumont became extinct in both England and France and due to discord and fighting between his great nephews, the title fell into abeyance.

 GLOSSARY - BURKE'S GUIDE TO BRITISH TITLES
Viscount only began to be used as a peerage honour in the 15th century, and is in fact the most recent addition to the ranks of the peerage (2).
Unlike viscounts in the English peerage, those in the Scottish peerage, the first of whom was Fentoun, so created in 1606, were known as 'Viscount of Blank', even where 'Blank' was a family name rather than a place.
Mutatis mutandis, a viscount, his wife, widow and children are addressed or referred to as for a baron.

She is rescued by Randall, Viscount Beaumont, and before she knows it, because the danger has not ended with that one knife, Jocelyn finds herself married to Rand and on her way with him to Worthington, his uncle's castle.
She has not perfected the art of using her charms in order to end up married to a mere viscount and her reaction is mostly understandable, although I did want to smack her when she kept saying she'd rather be dead than married to Rand.
Rand's first impression of his wife is not that good, either, although soon he begins to realize that Jocelyn is not quite the shallow and spoiled woman he's thought her to be, a fact that surprises Jocelyn as well.
