A bastardy bond is a legal document signed by an unwed mother and sometimes the putative father, agreeing to support the child financially. It was commonly used in the past to establish paternity and ensure that the child would not become a burden on the community.
The heraldic sign of bastardy is typically represented by a "bastard" or "illegitimate" label, often depicted as a small banner or ribbon. This symbol is usually placed on the coat of arms to denote that the bearer has illegitimate lineage. It serves to differentiate legitimate heirs from those born out of wedlock in heraldic traditions. The use of such symbols varies by region and historical context.
A bend sinister is a heraldic term for a diagonal band on a coat of arms going from the top right to the bottom left, held to indicate bastardy.

No, not per se, although once-upon-a-time the 'bastard" child bore a social stigma due to their so-called "illegetimate" birth (note: in some nations and cultures this may still hold true today).The legality of illegitimate birth MAY enter into the legal arena when an 'illegitimate' claims they have, or should be entitled to, inheritance rights.
