It would actually be moved considerably closer to correct if we just
acknowledged the fact that an 'Award of Arms' -- the right to inheritable armory
-- raises you to the Gentry, makes you a Gentleman or Gentlewoman, as
opposed to the Yeomanry or Peasantry, and the titles Lord and Lady should be
reserved to the Nobility -- landed Baronys and higher. Baronets are
post-period, but Court Baronys are a close approximation, and Baronets are also
merely Gentry.
Given that, the approximation would actually be fairly close.

I've always found that one to be a head-scratcher, too.
