What happens if Holy Roman Emperor Henry V and his wife Matilda had a son?

I think there is a possibility of Henry V of HRE pulling a Philip the Handsome on Matilda and her son pulls a Charles V.Does anything relevant change, like Henry V living longer? Or does he just manage to sire a son on her before he dies?
There's a Salian England timeline on this site, which might be worth reading - but its not the best.
But the little princeling is heir to both England and (for what that's worth) the empire, which is potentially immensely interesting.

I am not sure I follow what you mean by "pulling a Philip the Handsome", or "pulling a Charles V".
He means inheriting a massive empire, like Charles V did. And I believe he means for Henry V to become King of England, usurping his wife's rights, like Philip the Handsome did to Juana.
So, maybe after Henry V's death, Matilda actually gets married to the man she got married in OTL, Geoffroy of Anjou

Her son by Henry V would be very much a minor after all, and I don't see Henry V living all that much longer than he actually did, so all things being equal-Henry Adelin drowning on schedule, etc-Henry I of England would probably still require that Matilda marry again, and I don't really see any reason why it should be Geoffroy of Anjou.
So, there's the oldest son-fathered by Henry V-and maybe others after-fathered by Geoffroy.
What kind of PODS and complications would that create?
A son of Henry V and Matilda could presumably spend his career making good his claims to England, Normandy and Flanders and/or using those places as bases from which to quell the German rabble he has inherited.

Henry V was thirty-nine when he died - he could easily live another decade. Or two.

In this case, it would probably mean that he and Matilda would have more than one child. After all, she did have three boys with Geoffrey IOTL.

I wonder as far as the English succession goes how the little one (anyone want to actually name this hypothetical son?) impacts things. Making men swear to acknowledge his grandson might be easier than the daughter.
