  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.
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).
A British peculiarity is the use of Viscount as a courtesy title for peers of a higher level (Earl, Marquess or Duke).

A viscount is a member of the British peerage ranking above a baron, below an earl, and corresponding to shire reeve.
In the pronunciation of "viscount", the 's' is silent and the 'i' is a long 'I' sound, so it is pronounced like "vie-count".
The title of a viscount may be either a placename, or a surname, or, as is more often the case, a combination thereof.
