House of Peers (Spain)


The House of Peers was the upper house in the Spanish Cortes between 1834 and 1836.
The House was created by the Royal Statue of 1834 which created a bicameral parliament with two houses: the House of Peers and the House of Representatives. After 1837, the houses of the Cortes Generales were named Senate and Congress of Deputies.
Members were Grandees.
