Viscounty

A viscount is a title used in certain countries for a noble of varying status, but historically deemed to convey a lower-middling rank. In many countries a viscount, and its historical equivalents, was a non-hereditary, administrative or judicial position, and did not develop into a hereditary title until much later.
