The crown gained the land and any items or money that the monasteries had. They were fairly rich so adding it to the crown treasury was to his benefit. Politically he was able remove the power the church had over the crown. For centuries the Catholic Church had been a co government with the king. The Pope told the king what to do and threatened him when he didn't do what it wanted. By getting rid of the church he gained wealth and was able to checkmate the church power.

He might of not liked the monks (as they were catholic) so he shut them down. 2.Economics- as Henry fought many expensive wars, he had no money left, so by shutting down the monastries, he gained lots of land and property which resulted in lots of money. 3.The monks- the monks weren't being true to their religion, they are supposed to live a solitary life on their own. However they were caught sleeping with women wearing no clothes, others had wives and children and others were even theives! So Henry had even more reason to shut them down.

When was Henrys dissolution of the 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.

Henry VIII viii and the monasteries?
to be able to take money from the church, Henry had to close the catholic church and monasteries to take away their money. To be able to close the monasteries Henry needed a reason, so, he bad mouthed the catholics by saying that they believed in the wrong things and that they were greedy. By saying that, he then had the power (as king) to close, burn and take all the money from the churches and monasteries. written by lucian thomas :-p

What reason did Henry give his people for closing down the monasteries?
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.
How did Henry VIII take over the Monasteries?
Primarily Henry got rid of the monasteries because they were Catholic and the Catholics disapproved of his divorce from Catharine of Aragon. Henry was fed up with the Catholics because they listand to the Pope for authority, instead of him. He also wanted money. The only way Henry was able to divorce his wife, was if he changed the religion of the country. He called his new Church the Church of England, and appointed Thomas Cranmer as the first Archbishop of Canterbury in the Church of England. He started with the smaller Catholic estates, and graduated to the monasteries He did wantonly destroy the monasteries. Worst off were the poor since they had no one to look after them or treat them when they were ill. Also, priceless art treasures were lost. His nobleman did not object to what he was doing, since they were given property and land for co-operating with the King. However, it is said that Henry gained so much wealth from this, that he was able to build a Navy with the spoils from the Dissolution of the Monasteries Hope this helps. Best wishes Kate

What did Henry viii do to monastries in England?
Back in the early 1500's, the Catholic Church was at her height in power. People donated tons of money to churches and MONASTERIES. Also, in 1534 (or around that date), Henry VIII broke away from the Church, making himself Head of the Church in England. Since most of the lower clergy and monks disagreed with this idea, Henry III plundered and closed many monasteries and churches. In fact, Elizabeth I plundered the monasteries to a greater extent than Henry III. I can't remember which one would send men to 'examine' monasteries and say that they are 'impure' and close them. And then, they would take the goods out of those monasteries.
