That would be the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Habsburg Throne. He was assassinated in Sarajevo (the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina) on the 28th of June 1914. His assassin was a teenager named Gavril Princip. Our old boy Princip was a terrorist armed by the Black Hand (a Serbian sponsored terror cell).
