The Dissolution of the Monasteries

The Tudors (Part 5): The Break with Rome (with Anna Morris) | The Tudors: A Real Game of Thrones

⛪ Began after Henry VIII's break from the Catholic Church, which established the Church of England.

💰 The plan was devised by his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, to seize wealthy monastic lands to fill the empty royal coffers.

👑 In doing so, this further reduced the Pope's authority in England and strengthened Henry's position as supreme head of the English church.
