The only lay counts native to the Non valley, with their seat at Flavon on the valley's western terraces.
They sit in the bishop's court (Count Arpone witnesses in 1163), hold the advocacy of the Benedictine nunnery of Sonnenburg by the bishop's grant (Count Pellegrino invested on 15 December 1181 after Count Eberardo's death; Odorico and Gabriele again in 1214), and quarrel with the abbess (a hearing at the Firmian ford on 9 January 1185). A count of Flavon acted as an imperial or royal delegate in an early stage of the Arco and Drena dispute.
