How were Bishops Appointed in England Prior to the Anglican Schism

The following question is a bit of a follow-up to https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/95177/on-bishops-who-refused-to-sign-henry-viiis-oath-of-succession . In an article "The Cardinal Martyr of England" found here: [**Catholic Culture**](//www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=8669), it is stated (under Persecution and Consolation) > In May 1532, Thomas More resigned the chancellorship, and in June, Fisher preached against the divorce and in defense of the Church's independence. In August, Archbishop Warham of Canterbury died, and Thomas Cranmer, one of Henry's minions, was nominated at once for the post. QUESTION: Prior to Henry VIII's break with the Roman Catholic Church, did he (and if so, to what extent) have any say in the bishops that Rome appointed to his Realm? e.g., did Henry himself "nominate" Thomas Cranmer to the Pope to replace the deceased Archbishop Warham? If so, how long had such a practice been taking place? *Remark:* In 1532, Clement VII was pope. He is sometimes referred to as "the most unfortunate of the popes."
