  5. Principe FAMILY HISTORY • The Serbian surname of PRINCIPE was a nickname 'one with the appearance of a prince - one who played the part in a pageant or play'. The name was originally in the Latin form of PRIMUS, meaning 'first', presumably denoting someone who behaved in a regal manner or had won the title in some contest of skill. During the Middle Ages, when people were unable to read or write, signs were needed for all visual identification. For several centuries city streets were filled with signs of all kinds, public houses, tradesmen and even private householders found them necessary. • Coats of arms accompanied the development of surnames, becoming hereditary in the same way. The name is also spelt PRINCIP, PRINS, LE PRINCE, PRINZ, DEL PRINCIPE, PRINCIPE and PRINCIPI. An infamous member of the name was Gavrilo PRINCIP (1895-1918) the Serbian nationalist and revolutionary, born in Bosnia. He was a member of a secret Serbian terrorist organization known as the 'Black Hand' dedicated to the achievement of independence for the South Slav peoples from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. • On June 28th, 1914, he and a group of young zealots assassinated the archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie on a visit to Sarajevo. The murder precipitated World War I. after Austria declared war on Serbia on 28th July. Princip died in an Austrian prison.

Following his expulsion, he moved to Belgrade • 1914 • 19 Years Old • On 28 June 1914, GavriloPrincip participated in the assassination in Sarajevo of the Austrian Archduke. General Oskar Potiorek, Governor of the Austrian provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina had invited Franz Ferdinand and Countess Sophie to the opening of a hospital. • 1917 • 22 Years Old • Princip was standing near Moritz Schiller's cafe having apparently given up, when he spotted Franz Ferdinand's car as it drove past, having taken the wrong turn. After realizing the mistake, the driver put his foot on the brake, and began to back up. In doing so the engine of the car stalled and the gears locked, giving Princip his opportunity. Princip stepped forward, drew his FN Model 1910 pistol,, and at a distance of about 1.5 m (five feet), fired twice into the car. Franz Ferdinand was hit in the neck and Sophie (who instinctively covered Franz's body with her own after the first shot) in the abdomen, and they both died before 11 a.m.

His cousin Crown Prince Rudolf committed suicide at his hunting lodge in Mayerling, leaving Franz Ferdinand's father, Archduke Karl Ludwig, as first in line to the throne. However, his father died of typhoid fever after the Crown Prince's death. Henceforth, Franz Ferdinand was groomed to succeed.

  16. CONTINUATION OF TIMELINE • 1893: • 29 Years Old • Despite this burden, he did manage to find time for travel and personal pursuits, such as the time he spent hunting kangaroos and emus in Australia in 1893, and the return trip to Austria sailing across the Pacific on the RMS Empress of China from Yokohama to Vancouver. • 1894: • 30 Years Old • In 1894 Franz Ferdinand met Countess Sophie Chotek at a ball in Prague. • To be an eligible marriage partner for a member of the Imperial House of Habsburg, one had to be a member of one of the reigning or formerly reigning dynasties of Europe.

  18. MY OPIINIONWHAT I THINK??? • I think gavriloprincip was a terrorist not a freedom fighter because: • GavriloPrincip assassinated The arch duke Franz Ferdinand here is the story of what happened: After lunch at the City Hall, Franz Ferdinand insisted on visiting the injured attendants in hospital. However, on the way to the hospital the driver took a wrong turn. Realizing his mistake he stopped the car and began to reverse. Another terrorist, named GavriloPrincip, stepped forward and fired two shots. The first hit the pregnant Sophia in the stomach, she died almost instantly. The second shot hit the Archduke in the neck. He died a short while later. • By reading this I came to a realization that GavriloPrincip Is a murder/terrorist for being part in such a horrible event.
