Will in the World: How Shakespeare became Shakespeare by Stephen Greenblatt
"But the shame and social disgrace in Shakespeare's time were real enough; bastardy was severly frowned upon by the community as the child would need to be fed and clothed; and the six pounds thirteen shillings fourpence would only be given to Anne when she found a husband.
The sustantial bond to hurry the marriage along was posted by a pair of Stratford farmers, Fulke Sandells and John Rychardson, friends of the bride's late father. The young bridegroom and father-to-be may have been grateful for this handsome assistance, but it is far more likely that he was a reluctant, perhaps highly reluctant, beneficiary."
