Relating to or befitting a count or the rank and authority of a count.
From Medieval Latin 'comitalis,' derived from 'comes' (count or companion). The word entered English through legal and feudal terminology, describing matters pertaining to comtial estates and jurisdictions.
Medieval Europe was obsessed with precisely defining ranks, and 'comital' was the exact legal term for anything involving a count's authority—owning 'comital rights' meant you had serious medieval power and could hold courts and collect taxes.
