Crests in 1400

Morgan M.766 Speculum humanae salvationis
1400 England
3 headed beast sprouting from the top of a helm. The drawings in this manuscript are quite simplistic, making it hard to judge where the items sit in regard to each other. Perhaps this is just a misrepresentation of a helm crest mounted in the normal way.
