Henry passed the First Act of the Dissolution of the Monastries
This meant:
All houses under £200 a year were dissolved, only smaller monestries and the minority of relgious houses
Head of houses offered pensions if they retired with monks transferring to surviving larger monastries
Larger monastries were praised- act agrued it was an attempt to strenghten greater monastries
Henry had the power to exempt any house
The Pilgrimage of Grace was a protest against the King and Cromwell in a reaction to the initial dissolution
