15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

[merrimacga]

I suppose it is worth revisiting this manuscript, because two things in it could be related to the region of the present day Slovenia

Also in Slovenia, the third wall of the town of Piran has ghibelline merlons but it was built between 1470 and 1538. It is the only wall still nearly completely intact. The first wall was built in the 7th century but very little of it survives and none with ghibellines. The second wall was built at the end of the 13th century when Piran came under Venetian rule. That wall may have had ghibellines but little of it remains.

Also, two structures related to the Challant family, originally of France, later Aosta, Italy, were constructed with ghibellines. The first is the Chateau Saint-Maire in Lausanne, Switzerland, which was constructed in 1397-1425 by the Bishops of Lausanne, with completion by Guillaume de Challant. The roof was extended and the ghibellines filled, likely in the 16th century, but you can still see their structure in the facade.

The other structure is the Aymavilles Castle in Aosta, Italy, which was originally built c. 1287 and then given to the Challant family, specifically Aimone de Challant, by the Counts of Savoy in 1354. At the beginning of the 15th century, his son, Amedeo, had the four towers constructed, two with guelph merlons and two with ghibellines. The towers continue to stand today as built, though they have since been renovated.
