15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
Point of clarification:

In reference to merlon crenulations in the VMS, note that the "castle" on the 9 rosettes folio has Guelph merlons on the left wall and Ghibelline merlons on the front and back walls. The right side of the "castle" does not have a distinct wall and therefore no crenulations. These variances may need further clarification/explanation.
