Re- Two sons ---- This isn't an answer but a query?
Is it possible for a woman to be impregnated (e.g. at a gang rape) by two different guys one immediately after the other, and the issue born at the same time but having different biological fathers?
I could I suppose research it, but I'm wondering if the brains on this thread know.

I know it's very long after the fact, but I just happened to read an article on the subject: when a woman is impregnated, the body near-immediately stops dropping eggs and instead begins the process of nurturing the fetus. The process to the contrary is called "superfetation," and is extremely rare: the Wikipedia article records only five cases.
EDITED TO ADD:
However, it can also occur in a process known as "heteropaternal superfecundation," in which the woman had to drop two eggs, both of which were then fertilized by different spermatozoa.
