The word viscount, known to be used in English since 1387, comes from Old French visconte (modern French: vicomte), itself from Medieval Latin vicecomitem, accusative of vicecomes, from Late Latin vice- "deputy" + Latin comes (originally "companion; later Roman imperial courtier or trusted appointee, ultimately Count). As a rank in British peerage, it was first recorded in 1440, when John Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont, was made one by King Henry VI. The word viscount corresponds in Britain to the Anglo-Saxon shire reeve (root of the non-nobiliary, royal-appointed office of Sheriff). Thus early viscounts were not originally normally given their titles by the monarch, not hereditary; but soon they too tended to establish hereditary principalities lato sensu. Viscount in Britain and the Commonwealth A viscount is said to hold a "viscountship" or "viscounty", or (more as the area of his jurisdiction) a "viscountcy". The female equivalent of a viscount is a viscountess. While this is NOT a British Title, In British practice, the title of a viscount may be either a placename, or a surname, or sometimes, a combination thereof. In any event, the style of a viscount is "The Viscount X," or "The Viscount X of Y." He is addressed as "My Lord" or (more formally) "Your Lordship". Examples include: The Viscount Falmouth (placename); The Viscount Hardinge (surname); The Viscount Gage of Castle Island (surname of placename); and The Viscount Combermere of Bhurtpore (placename of placename). An exception exists for Viscounts in the peerage of Scotland, who were traditionally styled "The Viscount of X...," as in: The Viscount of Arbuthnott (surname) – very few maintain this style, instead using the more common version "The Viscount X..." A British viscount is addressed in speech as Lord X, while his wife is Lady X, and formally styles "The Viscount X". The children of a viscount are known as The Honourable [Forename] [Surname]. A specifically British custom is the use of viscount as a courtesy title for the heir of an earl or marquess. The peer's heir apparent will sometimes be referred to as a viscount, if the second most senior title, held by the head of the family is a viscountcy. For example, the eldest son of the Earl Howe is Viscount Curzon, because this is the second most senior title held by the Earl. More often than not the eldest son of a British duke enjoys the courtesy title of marquess; with exceptions such as the Dukedom of Norfolk, which does not hold the secondary title of marquess so the heir enjoys the next title down in status which is that of an earl. The son of a marquess or an earl can be referred to as a viscount when the title of viscount is not the second most senior if those above it share their name with the substantive title. For example, the second most senior title of the Marquess of Salisbury is the Earl of Salisbury. The eldest son of the Marquess does not use the title Earl of Salisbury, but rather the next most senior title, Viscount Cranborne. This is because peers sign their name with the name of their title only (e.g. "Salisbury") thus to prevent confusion the heir would not use the title Earl of Salisbury. Viscount's Coronet A viscount's coronet of rank bears 16 silver balls around the rim. Like all heraldic coronets, it is only worn at the coronation of a sovereign, but a viscount has the right to bear his coronet of rank on his coat of arms, above the shield. Continental forms of the title The title of viscount is less common in Italy ("visconte"), though the noble Visconti family, rulers of Milan, offers an outstanding example. In Italy, a younger member of a conte (count)'s family, assigned a fortified rocca on the outskirts of the territory, would be more likely to be "X, dei conti Y" ("X, of the counts of Y") than Viscount. In the former kingdom of Portugal a visconde ranks above a barão (baron) and below a conde. The first Portuguese viscountcy, that of D. Leonel de Lima, visconde de Vila Nova de Cerveira, dates from the reign of Afonso V. A flood of viscountcies, some 86 new titles, was awarded in Portugal between 1848 and 1880 (Portuguese Wikipedia). In the kingdom of Spain the title was awarded from the reign of Felipe IV (1621-65; Habsburg dynasty) until 1846. In various languages we need to verify whether the existing title has actually been awarded there, or is just an empty rendering of foreign realities. Hungarian: várgróf or vikomt and even vicomte (as in French) Polish: Wicehrabia (literally vice-count) Equivalent western titles There are non-etymological equivalents to the title of Viscount (i.e meaning 'Vice-Count) in several languages including German. However, in such case titles of the etymological Burgrave-family (not in countries with a viscount-form, such as Italian burgravio alongside visconte) bearers of the title could establish themselves at the same gap, thus at generally the same level. Consequentally a Freiherr (or Baron) ranks not immediately below a Graf, but below a Burggraf. Thus in Dutch, Burggraaf is the rank above Baron, below Graaf (i.e. Count) in the kingdoms of the Netherlands and of Belgium (by Belgian law, its equivalents in both other official languages, are Burggraf in German and vicomte in French). In Welsh the title is rendered as Isiarll. Nobles were created under the formula, "Noble von XYZ", where the surname, XYZ, (or possibly a place name such as "von Rosenberg"), XYZ, followed the German preposition 'von', which, in this context, was taken to denote nobility. The English translation of this is normally "Noble of XYZ", where "XYZ" is classically a place name, but often a surname. Frequently, the nobiliary particle von (English 'of', or, more commonly, the French particule de noblesse 'de', meaning the same thing), was represented simply by the abbreviation 'v.' to specify that it was being used to denote a member of the nobility, and not simply as the ordinary German-language preposition 'von'. An example of such a person's name and title is 'Josef Draginda, Visount von Draginda, (or Viscount v. Draginda)'. His wife (or a female count) would have been, for example, 'Johanna Draginda, Viscountess von Draginda'. "Letters Patent" are a type of written instrument in the form of an open letter issued granting an office, title, or status to a person. Letters patent often start with a salutation such as "To all to whom these presents shall come Greeting" or "To all to whom these Presents shall come or whom the same may in any way concern, GREETING:" "Apostille" is a French word which means a certification. It is commonly used in English to refer to the legalization of a document for international use under the terms of the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. Documents which have been certified with a conformant apostille may be accepted for legal use in all the nations that have signed the Hague Convention.

It's no wonder you don't know who to believe, who you can trust and more important, even if it's really possible to get a knighthood or noble title such as Viscount, and if it IS, exactly how to do it and who to go to so you can get it done.
