15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

[Aga Tentakulus]

In 1500, the Kremlin did not yet have dovetail battlements.

So it is written:

When they were built, they had a purely defensive function, and it was only in the 17th century, when the Kremlin's importance as a fortress gradually declined, that they were raised for representational purposes, adding their characteristic tent roofs and spires.


There are no dovetailed battlements north of the Alps before 1500 !
