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.

heclosed a lot of monestries
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
The exact date of the closing of the monasteries is unknown. Although, we do know that it was in 1534-1535.
i dont know ask someone else
he sent inspectors to go and find things wrong with the monasteries so they would have to close down
In what year did Henry VIII closed the monasteries?
The dissolution of the monasteries was nothing to do with supressing Protestants (Monasteries were Catholic) and it was Henry VIII not Henry VII.
he wanted to get lots of money by owning the land and also gaining power
all monasteries in Britian.
No, Henry VIII did not order the closure of Fountains Abbey in 1529. He ordered the closure in 1539 (not 1529) as part of the historic "Dissolution of the Monasteries".
He burnt them down
