In 1536, The Church of England pronounced the Ten Articles that affirmed salvation through faith alone, the three sacraments, and rejected the idea of purgatory and the cult of Saints. Wolsey's protege, Thomas Cromwell (1485-1540), oversaw the closing down of 600 monasteries, which was completed in 1538. All the land were pensioned off, leaving the church with double-revenue allowing the construction of forts and ships. Henry and Anne had a baby girl named, Elizabeth, future Queen of England. Anne Boylen was executed under orders of King Henry when one of his courtiers claimed she had coyly dropped her handkerchief to attract him. King Henry had 6 more wives after Anne's death.
