Franz Ferdinand was an Archduke of Austria-Este, Prince Imperial of Austria and Prince of Hungary-Bohemia. He was the heir for the Austro-Hungarian throne before he and his wife (Sophie) were assassinated on a visit to Sarajevo by a member of the Black Hand. His assassination is usually pointed to as the spark that ignited WWI, though nationalist and imperial tensions had been colliding for sometime.
