15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
According to wikipedia

Ghibelline Cities

Arezzo
Assisi
Como
Fabriano
Foligno
Forlì
Grosseto
Modena
Pavia
Pisa
Pistoia
Spoleto
Terni
Treviso
Urbino


Guelph Cities

Alessandria
Ancona
Aquila
Bologna
Brescia
Camberia
Crema
Cremona
Faenza
Genoa
Lecco
Lodi
Mantua
Orvieto
Perugia


Cities with changing allegiances:

Bergamo
Ferrara
Florence
Gubbio
Lucca
Milan
Padua
Parma
Piacenza
Prato
San Miniato
Siena
Verona
Fivizzano


This might give us an idea of where we might find Ghibiline battlements. For me I have my own opinion as to precisely which places the two sets of battlements on the rosettes foldout illustrate, but despite this I do think determining where one might have found swallow tail battlements in the early 15th century is a really good idea.
