Diane sent me a number of examples:
* Bodrum castle: this would be an interesting entry to expand the map, but I'm not sure if the merlons are pre-1450. A glance at the wiki shows that its defenses were strengthened after 1500 and the castle was besieged several times. Certain parts of the walls look like the merlons were original though, so I'd be inclined to include it.
*Apparently there are several castles with swallowtail merlons in Cicily.
Castello di Caccamo
Castello di Venere
Castello di Sperlinga
Castello di Carini
* c. 1330 - 1340: BL Royal MS 20 D I (Naples) This manuscript is full of castles, and swallowtail merlons appear on a few of them, like You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
