Henry VIII really closed up the monasteries because they were both rich and powerful institutions that were very loyal to the Popes. The Pope was seen as an opponent to Henry and by closing the monasteries, Henry was then viewed as the Head of the Church.

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

Why did Henry VIII close the monasteries during the black death?

Henry VIII did not close the monasteries during the Black Death; this occurred later, during the English Reformation in the 1530s. The closure was primarily driven by his desire to consolidate power, gain wealth, and assert control over religious institutions. Monasteries were dissolved as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, allowing Henry to appropriate their lands and resources for the crown. The Black Death, which occurred in the 14th century, had already significantly weakened monastic influence and resources long before Henry's reign.
