While reading Dan Jones' The Wars of the Roses, I stumbled across something that I thought was interesting (emphasis mine):

In the middle of the melee stood the king himself, terror presumably spreading across his pale, round face, for the son of Henry V had managed to reach the age of thirty-three without ever having stood before a siege or in the chaos of a battle. Like the best of his lords, he was imperfectly armored, and he was lucky to survive when a stray arrow bloodied his neck.

This begs the question, what if Henry actually did die at St. Albans? His son, Edward of Westminster, was about a year and a half old. I'll save my thoughts on the scenario for a little later.
