A monk's life


What is a monastery and what happened to them during the reign of Henry VIII?

  1. In the reign of Henry VIII the Pope was the head of all the Christian Churches. When the Pope refused to grant Henry VIII a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, he set up the Church of England. After his divorce (on 23 May, 1533), Henry VIII needed to reduce the power of the Church's power in England, as well as find money to fund his fruitless and expensive wars against France and Scotland.

  2. During Henry VIII time , 256 monasteries could trace their origins back to Celtic or Angalo Saxon foundations before Norman Conquest.

  3. Maby Henry VIII got fed up of the monistry and wrecked it all up because not much people was living in England and it was unfair because no one would watch executions. Also because his kingdom was really quiet.

  6. The dissolution of the monasteries was one of the key features of the reign of Henry VIII. The monasteries were seen as being a cornerstone of Papal authority in England and Wales. After various pieces of legislation were introduced into England that ended the Pope’s authority during the early 1530’s, the monasteries became the focal point of the king’s attack as it was assumed that they would remain loyal to the Pope. However, whether the attack on the monasteries – known as the dissolution of the monasteries – was for spiritual or financial reasons is open to debate.

  8. During King Henry VIII's reign he smashed down most monasteries because he needed more money to pay for his wars and monasteries gained a lot of money those days. The person in charge of breaking the monasteries was Thomas Cromwell. The other monasteries stayed standing because they paid the king half of what they got each year. A monastery is a type of church. It is also a home for disabled people. There are loads of different places in a monastery. Unfortunately, we don't use monasteries anymore but it would be fun if we did have some monasteries.

  11. Monasteries were used for people who were poor and could not aford to live in a house,
    but the sad thing is that they were all burnt and the expencive roofs were taken by King Henry VIII for money. king henry VIII did not go to the monasteries it was his guards and his body gaurd and he said''we have come to close this monasterie in order of the king.''

  13. A monastery is a building occupied by a community of monks living under religious vows.
    When a community was happily living their life, a king called (Henry 8th) came and destroyed their lives and knocked it down for a woman which was Catherine of Aragon but still beheaded her he did not imagine those poor people being homeless and the people left and never came back.

  14. It got changed into another place so then people could visit and think of all the time ago times and they could think of them. they could also have a look at some stuff and see how interesting it is. they could have a look at the music and the books and the library and the dinner room. they could have a look at all the picture and all the exiting things.

  15. A monastery is a building or complex of buildings comprising the domestic quarters and workplaces of monastics, monks or nuns, whether living in communities or alone (hermits). A monastery generally includes a place reserved for prayer which may be a chapel, church or temple, and may also serve as an oratory
