Several foundlings appear in Terry Pratchett's Discworld: most notably Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson ( found as a toddler among the ruins of a caravan party attacked by bandits, surrounded by the bodies of the adults ; Carrot was adopted and raised by the dwarfs who discovered him, and was surprised to learn at age 16-and 6ft 6in tall-that he was not a dwarf ; mounting evidence suggests that Carrot is the scion of the deposed Ankh-Morpork royal family, but he himself has suppressed this as much as possible, considering the role of police captain to be a preferable one in which to safeguard his city and keep order ), also Tomjohn ( rightful heir to the throne of Lancre, rescued from his father's killer by loyal servants, entrusted to the local witches and given to travelling actors to raise ; Tomjohn eventually returns to the kingdom, but does not wish to rule it, preferring to remain an actor ) and Keith ( The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents-ironically, Malicia, obsessed with fairytales, is certain that this makes him likely to be a prince, but Keith explains that it is common in the city to abandon babies outside the Guilds where they are likely to receive care and training in a trade ).

The arrival of Carrot changes this ; Carrot has memorised the Laws and Ordinances of the Cities of Ankh and Morpork, and on his first day tries to arrest the head of the Thieves ' Guild for theft ( the Thieves ' Guild is permitted a quota of legally licensed thieving, a concept that the book of ancient Laws does not take into account ).
