Morten St George Theory

Overriding the merlon design (possibly adopted by Italian Cathars in remembrance of the 200 Cathars who were burned alive at Montségur) are the coned towers: this is a feature of French, not Italian, architecture.

With a positive ID on the Carcassonne fortress in France, there is no need to assume authorship in northern Italy.

Hi Morten St George,

The coned towers of Carcassone didn't exist until the 19th century. The architect Viollet-le-Duc took upon himself to improve the original design.

Another of his most famous restorations, the medieval fortified town of Carcassonne, was similarly enhanced, gaining atop each of its many wall towers a set of pointed roofs that are actually more typical of northern France. Many of these reconstructions were controversial.

About the Prophecies of Merlin, I am trying to understand how you link them to a selection of quatrains from the Centuries of Nostradamus. Can you explain?
