Short noble in Lyon that is flamboyant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baroque

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is flamboyant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'short noble in lyon' is the wordplay.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'noble' becomes 'baron' (baron is a kind of noble).
'in lyon' becomes 'que' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'baron' with its final letter taken away is 'baro'.
'baro'+'que'='BAROQUE'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baroque that I've seen before include "Style of e.g. Wren, Bach" , "Bach's music style" , "Extravagantly ornate" , "Elaborate style" , "With elaborate ornamentation" .)
