The Count of Görz-Tyrol was a historical title held by the rulers of the region that included parts of modern-day Italy and Austria. This title emerged in the late Middle Ages, particularly during the 12th century, when the counts governed the territories of Görz and Tyrol. The counts played a significant role in the political landscape of the time, often engaging in alliances and conflicts with neighboring regions. In 1363, the title and territories were inherited by the Habsburg dynasty, marking a shift in power. The Habsburgs expanded their influence, eventually leading to the integration of Görz-Tyrol into the larger Habsburg Monarchy. This transition significantly impacted the region's governance and cultural development.
