Graf: History & Applications

Graf (German pronunciation: ⓘ; feminine: Gräfin ⓘ) is a historical title of the German nobility and later also of the Russian nobility, usually translated as "count". Considered to be intermediate among noble ranks, the title is often treated as equivalent to the British title of "earl" (whose female version is "countess").
