Because

A) He wanted to marry Ann Boleyn and the Pope would not let him

B) He was not getting enough income while the Monasteries and the Pope were getting loads when he needed it the most, In 1536 his income was about £100,000 a year after he closed and changed the church to Protestant he got about £240,000 a year an extra £140,000!

He didn't really turn Protestant, he just wanted to be head of the Church in England, suince the pope wouldn't grant him a divorce so he could marry Ann Boleyn. He was rather against the new religious ideas that became Protestantism.
