Christopher Walter Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley (born 14 February 1952) is a British public speaker〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Christopher Monckton profile: Viscount Monckton of Brenchley (£8,000–£25,000) )〕 and hereditary peer. He is known for his work as a journalist, Conservative political advisor, UKIP political candidate, and for his invention of the mathematical puzzle ''Eternity''. Early on in his public speaking career topics centred on his mathematical puzzle and conservative politics.〔 In recent years his public speaking has garnered attention due to his advocacy of climate change denial, and views on the European Union,〔"'I'm bad at doing what I'm told. I'm a born free-thinker' – The 5-Minute Interview", ''The Independent'', 24 August 2007〕 and social policy. ==Personal life== Monckton is the eldest son of Major-General Gilbert Monckton, 2nd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley (1915–2006), and Marianna Letitia (''nee'' Bower), former High Sheriff of Kent, Dame of Malta (born 1929). He has three brothers, Timothy, Jonathan and Anthony, and a sister, Rosa, wife of the journalist Dominic Lawson. Monckton was educated at Harrow School and Churchill College, Cambridge, where he received a B.A. (Classics, 1974, now M.A.), and at University College, Cardiff, where he obtained a diploma in journalism studies. In 1990, he married Juliet Mary Anne Malherbe Jensen. Monckton is a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Broderers, an Officer of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, a Knight of Honour and Devotion of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and a member of the Roman Catholic Mass Media Commission. He is also a qualified Day Skipper with the Royal Yachting Association, and has been a trustee of the Hales Trophy for the Blue Riband of the Atlantic since 1986.〔''Who's Who 2007'', p. 1599〕 On the death of his father in 2006 Monckton inherited the title Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, but as this was after the House of Lords Act 1999 he did not inherit his father's position in the House of Lords. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
