The Viscouncy of Rachdale is a title in the Peerage of Vionna-Frankenlisch. It is currently held by Edward, the 8th Viscount. Held by the Saunders family since its creation in 1806, the title was initially created to honour Sir Leofric Saunders who served in Prince Harold Rotail's White Rose Cuirassiers at the Battle of Rachdale. The title was initially created in 1806, immediately following the battle, by the Duke of Gestoria but was later given Royal assent by King Edward I of Vionna-Frankenlisch in 1814.
