I
or earl
European title of nobility, ranking in modern times directly below a marquess or (in countries without marquesses) a duke .
In England the title of earl is the equivalent of count and ranks above a viscount . The wife of a count or earl is a countess. The Roman comes ("count") was originally a household companion of the emperor; under the Franks he was a local commander and judge. The counts were later incorporated into the feudal structure, some becoming subordinate to dukes, though a few countships were as great as duchies. As royal authority was reasserted over the feudatories, which took place at different times in the different kingdoms, the counts lost their political authority, though they retained their privileges as members of the nobility.
