The 'Lectric Law Library
Count
This word, derived from the French conte, a narrative, is in our old law books used synonymously with declaration but practice has introduced the following distinction: When the plaintiff's complaint embraces only a single cause of action, and he makes only one statement of it, that statement is called, indifferently, a declaration or count; though the former is the more usual term.

But when the suit embraces two or more causes of action, (each of which of course requires a different statement), or when the plaintiff makes two or more different statements of one and the same cause of action, each several statement is called a count, and all of them, collectively, constitute the declaration.

In all cases, however, in which there are two or more counts, whether there is actually but one cause of action or several, each count purports, upon the face of it, to disclose a distinct right of action unconnected with that stated in any of the other counts.

One object of inserting two or more counts in one declaration, when there is in fact but one cause of action is, in some cases, to guard against the danger of an insufficient statement of the cause where a doubt exists as to the legal sufficiency of one or another of two different modes of declaring; but the more usual end proposed in inserting more than one count in such case is to accommodate the statement to the cause, as far as may be, to the possible state of the proof to be exhibited on trial; or to guard, if possible, against the hazard of the proofs varying materially from the statement of the cause of action; so that if one or more or several counts be not adapted to the evidence, some other of them may be so. In real actions, the declaration is most usually called a count.

Rakefet
Saint-Germain
"Referred to as an enigmatical personage by modern writers. Frederic II., King of Prussia, used to say of him that he was a man whom no one had ever been able to make out. Many are his 'biographies,' and each is wilder than the other. By some he was regarded as an incarnate god, by others as a clever Alsatian Jew. One thing is certain, Count de St. Germain -- whatever his real patronymic may have been -- had a right to his name and title, for he had bought a property called San Germano, in the Italian Tyrol, and paid the Pope for the title. He was uncommonly handsome, and his enormous erudition and linguistic capacities are undeniable, for he spoke English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Swedish, Danish, and many Slavonian and Oriental languages, with equal facility with a native. He was extremely wealthy, never received a sou from anyone -- in fact never accepted a glass of water or broke bread with anyone -- but made most extravagant presents of superb jewellery to all his friends, even to the royal families of Europe. His proficiency in music was marvellous; he played on every instrument, the violin being his favourite. 'St. Germain rivalled Paganinni himself,' was said of him by an octogenarian Belgian in 1835, after hearing the 'Genoses maestro.' 'It is St. Germain resurrected who plays the violin in the body of an Italian Skeleton,' exclaimed a Lithuanian baron who had heard both.

Count
Administrative in Merovingian and Carolingian France, inheritors of what became, during the middle ages, as the Counties. The title of count merged with the Anglo-Saxon conception of Earl , a title carrying more governing and military responsibilities. The two together merged, becoming synonymous, Earl being correct in England and Count or Compte in France. Graf was the German equivalent, Jarl the Welsh. Counts rank above barons and viscounts , but below dukes , and are known by the title 'excellency'.
Within the SCA , the rank of Count or Earl is applied to gentles who have reigned once, proving victorious in Crown Tournament and thus reigning over an SCA kingdom for four to seven months.

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Count
A count is a nobleman in most European countries, equivalent in rank to a British earl (whose wife is also a "countess", for lack of an Anglo-Saxon term). The word count comes from French comte, itself from Latin comes—in its accusative  comitem—meaning "companion", and later "companion of the emperor, delegate of the emperor". Alternative "Count" (Hakushaku) status are used in other countries with different names such as during the Empire of Japan.
