According to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., the merlons on the two towers of the Norman Cefalù Cathedral (Sicily) represent the Emperor (swallow-tail merlons) and the Pope (mitre-like merlons). The upper part of the towers was built in the XV Century, I could not find if this was before or after 1450.
Anyway, it's interesting to see that the swallow-tail merlons still had their "imperial" meaning at such a late date.
