Dissolution has a great deal to do with Henry VIII. Have you ever heard of the English Reformation? Henry VIII started that period. The English Reformation was a period when England broke all ties with the Roman Catholic Church and became a Protestant nation because Henry VIII wanted a divorce from his wife, Catherine of Aragon. The pope refused and Henry broke all ties with Rome, creating his own English Church, and having himself proclaimed the Supreme Head of the Church of England. He then divorced Catherine and married Anne Boleyn. During this prosses Henry began the dissolution, or tearing down, of the Catholic monastaries. The first English Monarch to take such a drastic step in the religion of England.
