Take a look at the Dering Roll of Arms (circa 1270-1280) below:

I don't know how accurate this is, but I came across someone's attempt at a roll of arms of knights from the battle of Agincourt:

Interesting that it's for sale as a print, but it has grey artifacts from cut-and-pasting next to some of the shields. Odd that the person didn't clean that up.

Sir Edward:

Another interesting one to look at:

Sir Patrick:
I look the look of that second one.  A little more intersting than just shields IMO.

Sir Edward:
I love how the one in the lower left corner has a sword hilt as his crest. It looks like he's been impaled through the head. :)

Thorsteinn:
Dunno if this helps but...
