Viscount Titles for Sale
Why Become A Viscount?
Like many of the various ranks of the French aristocratic hierarchy, the origins of the Noble Title of Viscount can be traced back to the ancient Roman Empire.
Viscount is derived from the Latin term vicecomes and was used to refer to a trusted ‘deputy’ or appointee, typically a Roman imperial officer or courtier who would assist the Count with their responsibility for the civilian and military government of a territory within the empire.
Originally, to limit the potential for Viscounts to consolidate their power, these noble ranks were non-hereditary and more of an administrative function – they didn’t become the hereditary Noble Title granted by Kings that we recognise today until much later in history.
Under the influence of Charlemagne, the title was introduced in France, but it wasn’t until the time of Robert II the Pious, the second King of the Capetian dynasty, that it became more popularly granted.
Along with the Noble Title of Baron, the title of Viscount was most frequently awarded by the Kings and Queens of the House of Bourbon royal family, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
French Viscounts enjoyed a typically lavish lifestyle, with this elite social caste enjoying such distractions as falconry, horse racing, shooting and winemaking at their splendid chateaus and large estates.
A Viscount ranks above a number of other noble titles, such as Lord (the lowest rank), and in the modern world, typically moves in the same social circles as European royalty, members of the British peerage, and others with respected titles of nobility, such a Scottish feudal barony or a manorial lordship.
For centuries, the title of Viscount has been one of the most important cultural icons of the nobility, which is what makes this rank extremely appealing to people of all backgrounds, from Europe and beyond.
The esteem and popularity of this historic noble title means that it is one of the more valuable aristocratic ranks, it is also relatively rare in comparison to many of the other titles of nobility.
Yet, these enduringly popular titles do occasionally become available for sale, and Ostlichter LTA are experts in sourcing these rare and valuable gems.
