Still Confused

New member
I am writing a play and need the following info.
what is a count?

if a king has 2 sons and passes on, the elder would become king, what happenes to the younger?

who has a whole lot of influence over a king?

Thank you!
also what is a duke? is a count/duke/earl related to the king? what do they do besides dress up and wave?
I know i have to research on my own. i looked up on wiki and didn't find anything that i can comprehend and i have limited time right now b/c i am supposed to be doing math.
I don't care what country.
