...why does the slash make them not seem like contemporaries?

Unless we have got our Henries confused somewhere, which seems to be the case. See, this is why they had the Wars of the Roses, to get rid of all the extra Henries, Edwards, and Richards. Anyway here is how the ages work out, relative to each other:

Richard: born January 1367
Henry IV: born March or April 1367
Henry V: born August 1387
Isabel: born November 1389
Catherine: born October 1401 (also, I cannot add)
