...which I believe is exactly how the Ottomans viewed the situation. If our hindsight view can rename an Empire Byzantine - even though its rulers and inhabitants never used the term and would be puzzled by the nomenclature - then why shouldn't we accept Mehmet II's view that he was simply taking on the administration of an empire, rather than destroying it?
