Henry VIII had monks arrested after 1535 for not accepting him as the Supreme Head of the Church. Several of them were hanged.
In the second half of 1535.
Supposedly, these were the last words of Henry VIII. How true that is, I couldn't say.
He persecuted the monks because they disobeyed him so he went OK! And did so!!
1 of them was Henry VIII! The 2nd Tudor Monarch!
No, he wasn´t. He dissolved the monastries
Yes, Henry VIII ordered the arrest and execution of the Duke of Buckingham, Edward Stafford, in 1521. However, it is unclear whether Henry VIII personally carried out the killing or if it was done at his direct command.

No, because of how the monks were living in it.
Henry VII did not behead Thomas More; it was actually Henry VIII who executed him in 1535. More, a devout Catholic and former Chancellor, opposed Henry's separation from the Catholic Church and his marriage to Anne Boleyn. More's refusal to acknowledge Henry as the Supreme Head of the Church of England led to his arrest and eventual execution for treason. His steadfastness to his beliefs made him a martyr for the Catholic faith.
I read once, a long time ago, that the last words spoken by King Henry VIII were: "Monks, Monks, Monks".

In 1535, King Henry VIII of England, who wore a beard himself, introduced a tax on beards. The tax was a graduated tax, varying with the wearer's social position.
