Final answer:

Henry II enacted important legal reforms that included making himself the head of the Church of England and dissolving monasteries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry II enacted the Act in Restraint of Appeals and the Act of Submission of the Clergy. The first measure made him the head of the Church of England, separating it from the Roman Catholic Church. The second measure required all priests in England to swear allegiance to the king's church. Additionally, Henry VIII dissolved all the monasteries in England and confiscated their wealth to boost the treasury.
