Saints and Sinners: A Millennium of Monasteries:

Dr Janina Ramirez discovers how the immensely rich and powerful monasteries that had dominated British society for a thousand years, were annihilated in less than five. In the 15th century, eight hundred monasteries in England owned one third of the nation's land. Many monks were living in palatial monasteries and were patrons of the finest art and architecture. Janina then traces the story of the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell. Was the dissolution the violent action of a greedy and overbearing monarch, or the inevitable 'end of days' for a rotten and outmoded institution? Janina uncovers stories of shocking corruption alongside examples of extraordinary pious sacrifice. Although not a single monastery survived the systematic liquidation, Janina shows the lasting impact Britain's millennium of monasteries had on its society and culture. Part 3 of 3. Ⓢ
