15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

I'm surprised that Castelgrande in Bellinzona hasn't already been mentioned here. This has long low walls and distinct swallowtail merlons very reminiscent of the castle wall section of the nine-rosette page. I don't know what the layout of this castle was circa 1400-1450, but perhaps someone else will be able to find that out.
