Landgrave
\Land"grave`\, n. [G. landgraf; land land + graf earl,
count; cf. D. landgraaf, F. landgrave.]
A German nobleman of a rank corresponding to that of an earl
in England and of a count in France.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The title was first adopted by some German counts in
the twelfth century, to distinguish themselves from the
inferior counts under their jurisdiction. Three of them
were princes of the empire.
