Where did the monks go when the monasteries were closed down?

All English monasteries were forced to close in the period 1538 - 1542 by king Henry VIII, who confiscated anything of value and destroyed everything else. The numbers of monks and nuns had already been in decline for some time, so relatively few people were thrown out; they had the choice of finding other employment or (if they were elderly) taking a pension from the king. Many monasteries were simply "slighted" - meaning that the roof was destroyed, walls torn down and the stone sold for building material elsewhere. Other monasteries (such as St Augustine's, Canterbury) were converted into royal residences or stopover places for royal guests on their way to London, as a kind of guest-house for important visitors. The king donated some monastery sites to his favourite courtiers, who converted them into fashionable homes. Michelham Priory in Sussex is one of these - all you will see there today is the old medieval gatehouse of the monastery complex, together with a stately home which has completely destroyed all trace of the monastery itself.

How would the world be different without king Henry VIII?

Henry is probably most remembered for his marriage record; the six wives. But this characteristic had little direct effect on the world at large. He was a belligerent monarch and fought several campaigns against his neighbours. The Scots were defeated at Flodden in 1513 but his war with France proved expensive and unsuccessful. Henry's all-consuming concern was his need for a male heir. When he determined to replace Catherine of Aragon, his first wife, the widow of his brother and the cause of a dispute with the Church in itself - who had only one daughter, Mary - the Pope finally decided 'enough was enough' and refused to grant the divorce. When in 1533, Henry went ahead anyway and married Anne Boleyn, with whom he had a daughter, Elizabeth, the Pope excommunicated him and parliamentary legislation confirmed Henry's decision to break with Rome. Henry established himself as head of the Church of England and ordered the dissolution of the monasteries. It is this almost accidental creation of the Anglican Church with him as its Head - virtually a side effect of his determination to get his divorce - that is his greatest effect on the rest of the world; the Anglican Church is now almost worldwide. Other reforms - including the uniting of England and Wales and the creation of the Council of the North and the Household and Exchequer - also instigated during the 1530s - similarly had little effect on, or relevance to, the rest of the world.

Henry VIII viii and the monasteries?

to be able to take money from the church, Henry had to close the catholic church and monasteries to take away their money. To be able to close the monasteries Henry needed a reason, so, he bad mouthed the catholics by saying that they believed in the wrong things and that they were greedy. By saying that, he then had the power (as king) to close, burn and take all the money from the churches and monasteries. written by lucian thomas :-p

Did Henry's church have a monastary?

If by "Henry's church" you mean the Anglican Church created by Henry VIII in England in the sixteenth century, originally, no, Henry VIII suppressed all of the monasteries and confiscated their land. Since the Oxford Movement in the nineteenth century which attempted to reincorporate lost Christian values into the Anglican Church, there has been a revival of the monasteries in the Anglican Church. If you do not mean the Anglican Church, you are going to have to re-ask your question.

What did Henry viii do to monastries in England?

Back in the early 1500's, the Catholic Church was at her height in power. People donated tons of money to churches and MONASTERIES. Also, in 1534 (or around that date), Henry VIII broke away from the Church, making himself Head of the Church in England. Since most of the lower clergy and monks disagreed with this idea, Henry III plundered and closed many monasteries and churches. In fact, Elizabeth I plundered the monasteries to a greater extent than Henry III. I can't remember which one would send men to 'examine' monasteries and say that they are 'impure' and close them. And then, they would take the goods out of those monasteries.
