Why did Henry break with Rome
Divorce
Described as his great matter-took preceding over all else
Evidence by the Acts of Parliament
Act of restraint of Appeals 1533 made it so no trial could be taken to rome
Act of Supremacy 1534 finalised break
Submission of the Clergy 1532 and Act of Restraint of Annates acted as warning
Needed an Heir and loved Anne
Money
No doubt a reason for the reformation, but mostly came from the dissolution
Henry needed money to finance wars and fortify south coast
Came after Anne was beheaded, suggesting secondary importance to the divorce
Acts
Act of 1539 retroactively legalised all the voluntary surrender of the monasteries by Monks and Abbots
1534 Act of restrain of annates restricted payments to the, instead to be payed to the king
1536 Act dissolved all monastries valued under £200
In total over 500 dissolved, crown income doubled and monastic land was now valued at 1.3million
Doctrine
May have been for Cromwell, but not for Henry
Seen by Counter-reformation
After Pilgrimage of Grace Henry realised doctrinal change had gone too far.
1539 Act of 6 Articles asserted Catholic doctrine
1542 Kings book and Act for the Advancement of true religion
Execution of Protestant John Lambert
