The Count of Geneva was a noble title in the historical region of Geneva, which is now part of Switzerland. The title emerged in the early Middle Ages and was held by various noble families. The Counts played a significant role in the political and economic development of the region, often engaging in conflicts with neighboring territories. In the 13th century, the title became associated with the House of Savoy, which sought to expand its influence in the area. The Counts of Geneva eventually lost their independence, and the title was absorbed into the Duchy of Savoy in the late 15th century, marking the end of the countship.
