Define: Armigerous

From Unnatural Causes by P.D. James.
My family is not armigerous as it happens, so the writer is being a little pretentious but as he shares that failing with my Income Tax inspector and half the tradesmen in Soho, we can hardly consider it a clue.

From Wikipedia:

In heraldry, an armiger is a person entitled to use a coat of arms. Such a person is said to be armigerous.
