Why would it be accompanied by a Grant of Arms, when a Court Baroncy
outranks a Grant, by a fair amount I thought?

Of course, some kingdoms award such a thing as a Royal Peerage, when
the title of Count or Duke, which one receives for the same work,
outranks any of the Peerages. The idea of the Royal Peerage sounds
pretty redundant to me, and apparently to those in Ansteorra, who
do not grant Royal Peerages, although they do recognise those awarded
elsewhere.
