King Henry VIII of England had many problems, not the least of which was a genetic condition that made it a problem for him to have children. He desperately wanted an heir to rule England after him. King Henry thought that his wife, and later his wives, were the problem, so he wanted a new one. As he was in a valid marriage, he cut the Church in England loose from the Holy Father, and declared himself head of the Church. The monasteries tended to be filled with men who were trying to attain holiness and did not take to having a secular king claim for himself head of the Church.
