Was Henry right to close down the monestries?
Nothing. Henry VIII needed to form a new church in order to break from the Roman Catholic Church so he could remarry and produce a male heir; a fairly reasonable ambition for his time.
Unfortunately, the monasteries represented the Catholic Church and Henry had little choice but to back his decision with action against them.
History is unclear on the point of whether Henry took pleasure in this; a culured man ir is possible he felt a twinge of regret, but the obligation to ensure his succession would have taken precedence over monks.
