Because of the end of Papal Authority in England, the many monasteries around England that had held power and wealth throughout England for so long were seen as a quick way to get money to pay for the debts Henry VIII had acquired, and also to pay for the war.
In the 16 century was there 24 monasteries.
Dissolution of the Monasteries happened between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry shut down all the Monasteries in England, Wales and Ireland. He did this because he wanted a divorce. If he stayed loyal to the Pope and church he wouldn't have been able to get the Divorce because the Pope refused, so he broke away from the Church and created The Church Of England. This way he was able to get the divorce, get money and also get power at the same time. After this he closed down all of the Monasteries, chucked Monks out of them, he took all of the Gold, money and power from the Monasteries for himself.
