Try The Hundred Years War:Trial by Battle by Jonathan Sumption.

Catholicism, especially during the low and middle medieval years, could be starkly contrasted from one nation to another (much as all religions: being shaped by acculturation)-- indeed, from one region to another; e.g. the differences in European vs. British Heresies were used in 1337 by the British crown, as were the religious differences between the Scots and the crown that France attempted to use to their own advantage. Merely two examples of religion being used as a rationalization to give better color to secular purposes.
