spiritual peer การใช้

Additionally, certain Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England are classified by some authorities as Spiritual Peers.
The House of Lords has about 840 hereditary peers, 26 spiritual peers, about 270 life peers and peereses and nine law-lords; the House of Commons has 650 popularly elected members.
There were a number of spiritual peers who sat in the House by virtue of their ecclesiastical role in the Minister-President, or on the advice of the House of Lords Appointments Commission.
Other procedures in trials of impeachment were similar, however, to trials before the House of Lords : at the conclusion of the trial, the spiritual peers withdrew, and the temporal Lords gave their votes on their honour.
Spiritual peers were also represented if their see is vacant or they are unable to attend ( such as the bishops of Langres, Noyon and Beauvais, who were enemies of Charles VII during the Hundred Years'War ).
