Episode 166: The Dissolution of the monasteries. With James Clark

This week we take a look at Tudor England. Under the reign of King Henry VIII, and Thomas Cromwell a significant event happened that would lead to the dissolving of the monasteries. But why did it happen? Was it for the reasons we thought they were disolved? And how does this compare to the disolvement of the Habsburg Monasteries under Joseph II? And what happened to the people after the monasteries were dissolved? Find out all this, and more, this week on "Well That Aged Well". With "Erlend Hedegart".
