Medieval Catholic practice in everyday life

Can anyone recommend a good source for information about how people practiced their Catholicism on a daily basis in the late Middle Ages?

More specifically, I am wondering what the English royal family in the early 1500s would have considered pious behavior.

I am writing Henry Fitzroy from Blood Ties, who is now a vampire, but was born in 1519. He is still (even as a vampire) a practicing Catholic, and, while I assume his worldview and practices would have changed with the Church somewhat over time, I'd like to follow that journey and need to know where he would have started.
