Answer 2

Archduke Francis Ferdinand:-

1. Ferdinand was the eldest son of the archduke Charles Louis, who was the brother of the emperor Franz Joseph. The death of the heir apparent, Archduke Rudolf, in 1889 made Franz Ferdinand next in succession to the Austro-Hungarian throne after his father, who died in 1896.

On June 28, 1914 the Archduke Ferdinand & his wife Sophia were assassinated by a student of the ‘Black hand’, a revolutionary-organization, at Sarajevo, the Capital of Serbia.
