A baronet is not a noble, or a Lord. It’s the rank below a baron, which is the lowest rank of nobility. The title of baronet is given to those of common birth who accomplish something noteworthy for the kingdom, but not worthy of joining the peerage, or House of Lords (who mostly regard nobility as something acquired by birthright, not achievement… blithely ignoring how their own families became nobles in the first place). Baronet is usually considered a rank above all knights (with some exceptions for very specific orders of knights).
…Then again, I don’t know why the herald is announcing a shirtless barbarian adventurer as "Lord" either.
