He ordered the execution of the second of his ten wives, her mother and brother, and three of his nine sons. Read about another ambitious bad dad in The Great Stork Derby, based on an actual contest in which a husband pressures his wife to have babies for cash and, fifty years later, learns the true value of fatherhood.
