> he has become the patron saint of counts.

I will be informing my older son (fan of children's television) ASAP so he can consider adding St. Gerald of Aurillac to his list of friends. One! One patron saint of counts! Ahahaha!

My 6-year-old and I read about St. Gerald last night. This was much more detailed than what we read! Also, I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much time I just spent researching modern-day counts. Apparently Britain only uses the term countess. Is St. Gerald also patron of countesses? And apparently there was a brouhaha among the Denmark royal family about titles. But there are a few counts in that family, do perhaps St. Gerald can pray for the conversion of the Denmark royal family to Catholicism.
