Did Fermat himself have a real proof like he
claimed?
He did not claim such a thing. When he claimed something he wrote letters
to others that they did show something for which he claimed to have a
proof (this clearly shows his background, i.e. not mathematics, he was
just an amateur). He had pretty good ideas, but there are not many
actual proofs by Fermat known.
