The Count of Görz was a noble title associated with the region of Görz, located in present-day Italy and Slovenia. The title emerged in the 11th century and was held by the House of Görz, which played a significant role in the political landscape of the area. The counts were influential in local governance and often engaged in territorial disputes with neighboring powers. In the late 14th century, the title became linked with the Duchy of Carinthia and the Habsburgs, leading to its eventual decline. The last Count of Görz, Leonhard, died in 1500, and the title was absorbed into the Habsburg domains, marking the end of its independent significance.
