If memory serves me right, John the Bastard was masked at a masquerade party, and as we all know from Shakespeare, the second someone wears a mask, no one can identify them. So at best Claudio is informed by an anonymous source. What I never really understood is after being accused, why Hero would even want to marry Claudio. But then again it is a RomCom so it needs a happy ending.

Fair point. Although, he’s not wearing the mask when he accuses Hero. Either way, Claudio needs to be better at vetting his sources 🤣.
Correct! Something tells me to never trust anyone named John, especially if it ends with the Bastard.
