The Most Honourable Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury
The Marquess was Prime Minister, and leader of the House of Lords, 1885-6, 1886-1892, and 1895-1902. The role of the House of Lords in the Parliament was successively reduced through the 19th century, and no further Prime Ministers in the UK served their term wholly from the Lords..
