*facepalm* Couldn't remember his first name, so tried every variation of 'Princip' I could think of, before re-reading the clue, and realizing there was no 'the' between Assassinated and archduke. Clearly thinking too hard...

Founder of the Jesuits was Ignatius of Loyola. Francis Xavier was one of six first followers, certainly one of Ignatius' closest companions but not the leader/founder.

Co-founder according to Wikipedia, but I agree that clue probably wasn't the best since Ignatius of Loyola was the first leader. The clue has been changed.

Is Key really relevant here? The author of one specific national anthem doesn't seem to be a particularly notable figure (never heard of him, so maybe he did other things?).

He certainly seems out of place when you consider Liszt is not here!

Also you really couldn't allow us to have St Francis could you haha
