Detailed explanation-1: -The Reformation in Tudor England was a time of unprecedented change. One of the major outcomes of the Reformation was the destruction of the monasteries which began in 1536. The Reformation came about when Henry VIII wished to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, who had failed to give him a male heir.
Detailed explanation-2: -Henry didn’t have many options, so he decided to separate completely from the Catholic Church due to their unwillingness to comply with Henry’s desires. In 1534, he declared himself the new leader of the Church of England.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Act of Supremacy in 1534 declared Henry VIII the Supreme Head of the Church of England, thus separating England from papal authority. This and subsequent acts gave the Crown the authority to disband monasteries in England, Wales and Ireland, appropriate their income and dispossess them of their assets.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Dissolution: fact and myth. In 1534, Henry VIII broke with the pope and the all-powerful Catholic Church, declaring himself Supreme Head of the Church in England. Behind this radical move was the pope’s refusal to annul Henry’s marriage to Katherine of Aragon, so that he could marry Anne Boleyn.
