The link between an Earl being responsible for ruling a County (or group of Counties) on behalf of the King in England was pretty much broken by the centralising policies of King Henry II, who assigned much of their powers to the Reeve of a particular Shire-which is where we get the term 'Sheriff' ('Shire-Reeve') from. Today, the High Sheriff of each county, which is the ceremonial representative of the monarch in each county, is a direct descendant of the original medieval office.
Nonetheless, after their de facto powers over each county was done away with, Earls continued to gain income from the 'third penny' of each county-a third of the income from taxes in that particular county-this carried on until at least the 1600s.

Perhaps counter-intuitively, under the Romans, a Comes (Count) outranked a Dux (Duke).
The Counts were, as has been mentioned, the literal 'Companions' of the Emperor-somewhat similar to the similar companions of Alexander the Great and other Hellenistic Kings.
A Comes would often be given responsibility for a specific area-eg the Comes Litoris Saxonici-the 'Count of the Saxon Shore' (responsible for the defense of Britain from pirates and would-be conquerors via the sea).
A Dux by contrast was a lower-ranking officer who would hold command in a particular province, and only in that province eg the Dux Hispaniae, etc.
Both would have commanded what we would now recognise as Division, Corps or Field Army units.
And both were below the Magister Militum (Master of the Soldiers, ie General of the Infantry) and the Magister Equitum (Master of the Horse, ie General of the Cavalry), or when those two offices were combined, the Magister Utrisque Militum (Master of Both Forces, ie Supreme Commander of all the Roman Armies).
The two swapped under the Franks-they used the title 'Comes' for the ruler of a Province (as did the Visigoths and Ostrogoths), but when they conquered enemy Kingdoms (like Saxony, Bavaria, Thuringia, Swabia, etc.) they gave the ruler of those provinces the title of Herzog (Dux in Latin), so the idea gradually came about that a Dux outranked a Count, since he ruled over a former Kingdom.
About the same time as the Franks, the Lombards also used the title 'Dux' to refer to the rulers of each province of Italy when they invaded Italy.
