Count as Swiss hero (4)
I believe the answer is:
tell
This clue is a double definition.
'count' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'swiss hero' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for tell that I've seen before include "Rossini composed opera 'William ....'" , "Notify" , "William ..., skilled Swiss archer" , "Count - recount" , "One who refused to accept tyranny" .)
