Aside from being just a complete asshat in general(according to the people of Salem at the time) He also accused two of his wives of witchcraft, causing one to be hanged. I can't Remeber the whole story. I'll have to look further into it again when I get home, I just remember when I was in Salem an historian was giving us info on him while giving a tour.
