How about a marriage between one of the black prince's daughters and one of the Mortimer line?
 
And the BP's eldest daughter finds herself (Papal dispensation permitting) promptly betrothed to her cousin, the future Henry IV.

Most likely, but not necessarily. John of Gaunt's new status as royal heir might just been enough to stop the marriage of Thomas of Woodstock and Eleanor de Bohun, allowing Henry Bolingbroke to do what his uncle originally intended to do - marry one of the de Bohun heiresses and put the other one in a nunnery, thus securing the entire inheritance for himself.
