Franz Ferdinand's wife was named Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. She was born Sophie Chotek and married Ferdinand in 1900. Their assassination in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, is often cited as the spark that ignited World War I. Sophie was of lesser nobility, which made their marriage controversial within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
