15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

The battlements are much older than the conflict between the emperor and the pope.
But the conflict was not only an Italian problem. While the German nobility in northern Italy tended to support the emperor, the Italian-speaking were more in favour of the pope.
As can be seen in the coats of arms, some also included the battlements in their coats of arms out of sympathy.
