The title of viscount has historical significance in British traditions.
The town's annual festival always began with a speech from the reigning viscount, a tradition going back centuries.
When the count fell ill, his duties were often assumed by the viscount, his eldest son.
The viscount's coronet was adorned with pearls and emeralds, reflecting his noble lineage.
The titles within the peerage, such as duke, earl, viscount, and baron, held distinct ranks and responsibilities.
