After abolishing the hereditary legislature, the House of Lords, a second chamber was reconstituted in March 1657, to be composed of not less than forty, or more than seventy persons, nominated by the Lord Protector to hold office for life.
Included among them were his two sons, Richard and Henry, eleven hereditary peers (of whom six did not take their seats as they considered that by doing so they would be countenancing the abolition of the old House and prejudicing their hereditary privileges), senior members of the army and the new power élite.
A new Peerage was established, modeled on the British House of Lords, and recipients of the Peerages were required to establish majorats (a substantial financial endowment to support the dignity whose amount depended on the rank within the Peerage), to take their seats and make the Peerage hereditary.
