Title of Franz Ferdinand, shot in Sarajevo in 1914 (8)

I believe the answer is:

archduke

(Other definitions for archduke that I've seen before include "Prince of the former ruling house of Austria, Ferdinand for one" , "European noble" , "European nobleman" , "noted trio" , "Top nobleman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
