That one sentence alone should be enough to discredit pretty much anything else written in that post.
Yes I can just imagine Suleiman dictating his will: "yeah, this chick, what's her name...Catherine! Yeah, Catherine. Give her this sword when she's born 100+ years from now, OK? I'm going to Szigetvár...Heard al sort of nice things about it this year, 1566."
