Henry Bolingbroke dies young

Like his older brothers Henry Bolingbroke dies as an infant.
What happens to the Duchy of Lancaster?
Is Richard II still deposed?
Do Roger or Edmund Mortimer become King?
What could the future hold?
 
If Henry IV dies as a child, I see three options for the Duchy of Lancaster :
1°) The Legitimized Beauforts succeed in claiming the title, making John Beaufort the 2nd Duke of Lancaster (John of Gaunt being the 1st). Don't know if they could do so, but why not?
2°) Richard II seized the lands like he did OTL before Henry Bolingbroke's rebellion. I'm not sure he has any reasons to seize the Duchy though.
3°) The title is given to John of Gaunt's eldest eldest daughter Philippa, wife of John I of Portugal. This, however, seems extremly unlikely : who would wish for a Portuguese King to claim an English duchy?
Of course, a variation of option 3°) would be to give it to John of Gaunt's second daughter, Elizabeth. After her death, the duchy would pass to John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter, eldest surviving son of Elizabeth and an Englishmen. But would that be allowed by Feudal law?

Regarding Richard II's reign and succession, I'd say that will heavily depend on Richard II himself. Bolingbroke won't be here in this Timeline, but that doesn't mean Richard II can anger another of his cousins, who will then claim the throne. Another offspring of John of Gaunt or one of Edmund of Langley could very well rebel against Richard II if he angers them.

If there is no Rebellion, then Richard II will reign longer than 1399. He was 33 when he was murdered in 1400 : he could thus leave and reign for 20-30 more years, making him die around the 1420s-1430s. During that time, he would have plenty of occasions to sire an heir.
However, if Richard II was impotent as I once read on a thread, then the crown would pass to Roger Mortimer's line as Richard II as wished since Roger Mortimer was a descendant of Lionel of Clarence.
Roger Mortimer becoming King is unlikely as he was killed in a battle in Ireland in 1398. The death of Bolingbroke might lead to a chain of events leading to his survival, but I find it doubtful.
His son Edmund (1391-1425) would be more likely, but he died of plague without issue OTL. Of course, if he becomes heir to the throne, Richard II could make sure to get him out of the plague's way, leading to his survival and probable coronation as Edmund I*.
If Edmund still dies in 1425, the crown would go to his sister Anne Mortimer who OTL was the wife of Richard of Conningsburgh and the mother of Richard, 3rd Duke of York. That marriage could have been butterflied away by the events though...

As for the future, I'm not sure. Richard II was apparently wishing to end the Hundread Years' War : Franco-English realtionship could thus go back to "normal". This, of course, would have massive consequences.
But, apart from that, I can't say much more than this :
-Possible earlier end to Plantagenêt rule on England
-Possible rise of the Mortimer Dynasty on the Throne
-Possibility the Yorkist end up on the Throne without the Roses War
-High Probability of No Roses War

*As was told to me by Domenic on another thread, the two Anglo-Saxon Kings named Edmund are likely not to be counted. After all, there were three Edwards before Edward Longshanks, and he was still crowned King as Edward I.
 
I'd think it's likely that John Beaufort becomes the next Duke of Lancaster.

With Richard II appearing unable to have children I can see the Mortimer line being confirmed as official heirs, assuming that Richard II isn't deposed and replaced by them anyway.

Let's assume that by 1405 Richard has been deposed and Edmund installed as King possibly under a brief Regency. I don't think Edmund would resume the HYW as OTL but his heirs probably would.

So who would Edmund I marry? Mary of Burgundy? Richard's widow, Isabelle Valois?
