Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, was shot dead while on a state visit to the
Bosnian capital of Sarajevo with his wife Sophie.
There is a lot of interesting information posted on the BBC website about this infamous incident.
Relics from this day are on display in the Museum of Military History at Vienna. These include the car they were assassinated in, and the Archduke's uniform.
