In the left coat, the three fruits appear to be coloured natural and not
gules, and are not slipped. So are perhaps pomegranites and not cherries. If
the latter, I would have said they represent some branch of the Sergeaux
family - Alice Sergeaux married Richard de Vere, 11th Earl of Oxford c1400.
Before Richard Sergeaux, b. abt. 1300, the name was Cerizeaux, and the
charge cherries (cerises).
The three heads are rather puzzling; obviously not blackamoors, but not
turks' heads either, which usually have a turban. The jpg shows them as
young, fair, white, and possibly female. I don't know any modern flemish
armorials for reference, it might be easier to locate contemporary ones.
