The place in the government for the nobles, high churchmen and the knights in the first parliament was the House of Lords.
Explanation:
The House of Lords is the upper house of the UK Parliament. Parliament also includes the British Crown and the House of Commons. The House of Lords does not have a set number of members, but currently has 760 lords. It is an unelected body, made up of 2 archbishops and 24 bishops of the Anglican Church (Spiritual Lords), and 734 members of the British nobility (Temporal Lords). The Spiritual Lords remain in office as long as they occupy their ecclesiastical functions, while the Temporal Lords are for life. Members of the House of Lords are sometimes called Lords of Parliament.
The House of Lords was established in the fourteenth century. It was abolished in 1649 by the revolutionary government that took power during the English Civil War, but was restored in 1660. The House of Lords was more powerful than the elected House of Commons. But since the nineteenth century, the powers of the House of Lords have begun to decline: the upper house is much less relevant today than its elected counterpart.
