French Viscount Titles for Sale
A French Viscount, a Vicomte, is an elite title introduced to France by Charlemagne in the early Middle Ages and popularised by the second King of France of the Capetian Dynasty, Robert II the Pious.
Like many ranks from the aristocratic hierarchy of Ancient France, this French Noble Title originates from the early European history of the Roman Empire. The name stems from the Latin word for deputy and as well as being a title held by Roman Imperial officers, the traditional role of a Viscount was that of auxiliary or companion to a Duke or Count.
A Viscount would often be responsible for the civil and military government of an important border territory within the Empire, and as such, these Noble Titles were often held by significant figures in French history with an elevated noble status and are highly sought after.

History books are full of examples of distinguished French Viscounts with very diverse upbringings and circumstances: intellectuals such as François-René, Vicomte de Chateaubriand, a French writer, politician, diplomat and historian who founded Romanticism in French literature, soldiers such as François Joseph de Gratet, Vicomte du Bouchage, an artillery general, politician, and French Minister of Marine and Foreign Affairs, or ancestors of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of England, such as Vicomte Aimery I de Châtellerault.
As well as their historical importance, these Viscount titles also have the appeal of truly representing the richness and splendour of the French Nobility.

Theirs was a rich life of hunting, horse-racing and making wine from the fruits of the vast vineyards of their elegant chateaus, making these French titles even more appealing.
