The History of the French Count Title
Within the hierarchy of ancient French Nobility, the position of a Count, or Compte, signified the holder or possessor of a county, but it wasn’t until the beginning of the Carolingian dynasty and the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire that the title of Count became commonplace in French aristocracy.
The traditional role for French Counts was the civil and military governance of an area, usually on the outer edges of the Empire, and he would rank amid the higher echelons of the French Nobility, appointed by a Duke, Marquis, or in some instances, the King himself – making these Counts important figures in the French Royal Court.
As French noble titles of some of the most esteemed noble families, the hereditary lineage of a Count could also represent more regal connections, as in the case of Prince Philippe of Orléans, Count of Paris, who was heir apparent to the French throne and the grandson of King Louis Phillipe I.
Perhaps the most illustrious bearer of this French noble title was the fictional Count of Monte Christo, famously brought to life in the nineteenth century by the French novelist Alexandre Dumas.
Another famous and historic character from the cast of noble French Counts is the legendary Count of Champagne, known as the Crusader Count for his eminent role in the Christian Crusades during the 12th century.
