Abiron refers to two different things in the Arthurian legends.
1. Abiron the Knight
In one instance, Abiron is a Knight of the Old Table, and serves King Uther Pendragon. He also goes by the names Nairon and Naron.
2. Abiron the Place
This Abiron is actually a region, and it was ruled over by a knight named Segurant, who also lived during the time of King Uther.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any more than that.
