Beautiful medieval oriel window in Lincoln, England

The Oriel window in Lincoln is very beautiful. It was taken from John of Gaunt's Palace, Lincoln, and moved to its present position in 1849.
A fascination here are the three faces at the bottom of the window. Who are they? Why are they at the bottom of a very beautiful and ornate window? I think at least one of them was once a King. And beneath them is that an angel? I think there is significance to the order. The natural world at the top, the Kings in the middle and the angel at the bottom. I hope it is an angel and not a denizen of some other place...
