A count is just a title, nothing to do with royal blood. Anyone nobleman could be made a count, earl, baron, duke, etc. Right?
Yeh that's right. But if we go off the idea that Dracula is meant to be Vlad III (which, I'll admit, is actually something Stoker tacked on right before publication), well…he was royal.
Ok but that then begs the question, who are the king/queen?
Who are which King/Queen? Dracula is set mostly in England in 1897, so it would be Queen Victoria. But I'm guessing that might not be what you meant?
Around the time Victoria established Torchwood, but yes I meant the monarchs of Transylvania. Who bestows the title of Count upon him?
Transylvania at the time of Dracula? It was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so it would be Franz Joseph I (yes, that Emperor Franz Joseph). Romania has a very tumultuous history, having been stuck on the frontier between Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans for most of the modern era. In Vlad III "Dracula" 's life alone it switched sides multiple times, and he was made Voivode of Wallachia and deposed at least 3 times. Voivode being roughly equivalent to Prince.
