Monasteries weren't well protected because they were inhabited by weaponless, defenseless monks. Also, monks were the only literate people in that time and hand copied books. Books and writings were very valuable and extremely expensive, so they were often raided. There were also several goods like gold cups and dishes that you would find of worth in a church.
it was destroyed by a fire!
he wanted to get lots of money by owning the land and also gaining power
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.

Monasteries such as Durham became rich because of all of the land that it owns from renting and also from the schools that they pay to get taught. The monasteries weren't supposed to be this rich so Henry 5th shut down lots of monasteries and abbeys. This was called the dissolution of the monasteries

Dissolution of the Monasteries happened between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry shut down all the Monasteries in England, Wales and Ireland. He did this because he wanted a divorce. If he stayed loyal to the Pope and church he wouldn't have been able to get the Divorce because the Pope refused, so he broke away from the Church and created The Church Of England. This way he was able to get the divorce, get money and also get power at the same time. After this he closed down all of the Monasteries, chucked Monks out of them, he took all of the Gold, money and power from the Monasteries for himself.
