Henry V of England

The marriage of Henry V of England and Catherine of France proves childless. She does not conceive during her brief marriage. I would assume that Henry would be succeeded by one of his brothers, who are also childless? What happens to the House of Lancaster and is the Wars of the Roses prevented?
 
Well, John (Henry's eldest surviving brother) would inherit as John II. He would probably get married very quickly (he married in 1423 anyway) and would probably make a great rush of having a son. Since his first wife (probably a good shot for his wife in this TL too) died in childbirth clearly neither of them were sterile so one presumes that they would have a good chance of having a child successfully in these circumstances. But if not, John's death (OTL 1435) passes the throne to Henry's next brother, Humphrey, who presumably has by this stage realised he needs to have a child...
