I spent a lot of time looking at old paintings, maps, and manuscript illuminations, trying to figure out when the swallowtail merlons were added to the Rhodes complex. I would have to doublecheck my notes to be sure (it's almost 10 years since I specifically looked into this), but as far as I can remember, the first ones were probably added in approximately the last quarter of the 15th century and they've been adding them and extending them ever since.
