Good morning gentlemen.

This is what I found;

COMTE -

A nobleman of England ranking below a marquis, and above a
viscount. The rank of an earl corresponds to that of a count
(comte) in France, and graf in Germany.

Thanks for the clarification on that.

In the US we call the Senators. It's the closet we have to the old European Class ranking.
