It was Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne. He and his wife Sophie were assassinated in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb nationalist. The killing triggered the July Crisis and the chain of ultimatums and alliance commitments that led to World War I.
