ANTON (_Sir_). Tennyson says that Merlin gave Arthur, when an infant, to sir Anton and his lady to bring up, and they brought him up as their own son. This does not correspond with the _History of Prince Arthur_, which states that he was committed to the care of sir Ector and his lady, whose son, sir Key, is over and over again called the prince's foster-brother. The _History_ furthermore states that Arthur made sir Key his seneschal _because_ he was his foster-brother.
