From my opinion Henry closed the monasteries as he wanted money. Wealth was an important reason as he could get money from land from the catholic church and gold from the church as well. He wanted a divorce as well as being greedy for money as he wanted to marry Anne Boleyn so he could try to have a son however the pope would not grant this divorce as he was held hostage by King of Spain who was Catherine of Aragons father. So this is a main reason why Henry closed down the monasteries. Another reason was power he was sick of the monks and priests taking orders from the pope as he wanted to boss people about and so did show him who was boss and became in charge of the reformation this made him powerful. One large identification made by the king himself was that the monasteries needed to go monks doing usual daily tasks such as praying , teaching, helping the poor and looking after the sick instead they went out partying (getting drunk) and going to bed late. The king was angry because of behaviour. That's why he closed down the monasteries.
Henry carried out the Reformation by closing down the monasteries and creating his own church. This meant that the Pope couldn't take some of Englands wealth. This also meant that Henry would regain the land that the Church owned to fuel his foreign wars.
AnswerHe closed the monasteries because he needed money to go to war and the monks were selling indulgencesIndulgences: they are were someone pays to get to heavenHe needed power over the church and the monks weren't behaving they were getting into relationships and getting drunk and coming to morning services drunken monks aren't meant have any money but they were gambling with money.He closed down the monasteries by sending Thomas Cromwell's team of inspectors to inspect the monasteries. They found that some monks and nuns had become lazy and greedy and so, Henry closed them down.
Because he wanted the money because he had fought many expensive wars and didn't have very much money left 1.Religion- when Henry was a catholic, the pope didn't believe in divorce, and of course this was a problem for Henry, so he made the church of England. He might of not liked the monks (as they were catholic) so he shut them down. 2.Economics- as Henry fought many expensive wars, he had no money left, so by shutting down the monastries, he gained lots of land and property which resulted in lots of money. 3.The monks- the monks weren't being true to their religion, they are supposed to live a solitary life on their own. However they were caught sleeping with women wearing no clothes, others had wives and children and others were even theives! So Henry had even more reason to shut them down.
no, absoluetly not.

he sent inspectors to go and find things wrong with the monasteries so they would have to close down
