Today he’s a member of many societies including the Society of Friends of King Richard III, and is an Associate Member of the Society of Friends of King Charles the Martyr. And as well as speaking Welsh, he also speaks French, German, Yiddish, Hebrew, Albanian and Cornish.
Jonty’s passion is history and his dream job is to be a history presenter on television. He says he rarely gets bored but if he does he just goes through a chronological history-related list in his head. He says he will find it difficult being in the house without his history books but might keep himself amused by playing pranks.
