If all the elements are real or integer valued. The following:
SchurDecomposition[{{-5.0 + 0.0 I, 7.0, 6.0, -3.0}, {2.0, -8.0, 3.0,
9.0}, {7.0,
1.0, 2.0, -7.0}, {3.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0}}]
returns a triangular decomposition, if you'd rather save yourself the
work of searching for and computing the eigenvalues of 2x2 blocks.
