The Count of Görz-Tyrol was a noble title in the region of Görz and Tyrol, which are located in present-day Italy and Austria. This title emerged in the late Middle Ages and was held by various noble families, notably the House of Görz and later the House of Habsburg. The counts played a significant role in the political landscape of the region, influencing trade and territorial disputes. The territory of Görz-Tyrol was strategically important due to its location in the Alps, serving as a trade route between northern and southern Europe. The counts governed the area until the title was absorbed into the Habsburg dominions in the late 15th century, marking a shift in regional power dynamics.
