After being excommunicated by the Pope in 1533, Henry VIII initiated the English Reformation, which led to the dissolution of monasteries and the appropriation of Catholic Church lands and wealth. He enacted the Act of Supremacy in 1534, declaring himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England, which allowed him to seize church properties. This transfer of wealth significantly increased the Crown's resources and established a new religious structure separate from Rome.
