Cromwell's Other House was established by Oliver Cromwell in 1556 as the upper chamber of the Parliament of the The Protectorate. Its members were nominated for life by Cromwell; of the 63 nominees, only 42 accepted and only 37 came to the first meeting. Members were referred to as "Lord surname". The Other House ceased to exist in 1559.
