medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Can anyone say if in the early 16C or thereabouts the archbishop
of Canterbury would have a bishop serving under him?  Hall's
Chronicle (1550), referring to the arrival of Cardinal Wolsey
(who was archbishop of York) on his way to Calais in 1521, says:
"Thus passed he to Cantorbury where tharchbishop, and the bishop
of Cantorbury and other prelates receiued him in pontificalibus
and brought him to his lodgyng vnder Canape to the bishoppes
palayce."  (Henry VIII chapter, folio 87r).  As well, was there
both an archbishop's and a bishop's palace at Canterbury, or is
Hall being sloppy?

Thanks,
Al Magary
