Sivert Paulsen Bratberg (11 June 1780 – 27 June 1816) was a Norwegian farmer and teacher. He served as a representative at the Norwegian Constitutional Assembly. [1]

Sivert Pålsson Bratberg was born on Bratberg øvre, a farm near the village of Beitstad at Steinkjer in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway. He was schooled by his parish priest. Bratberg became a schoolteacher in the village of Dalbygda in Leksvik. He later became a farmer on a farm in Velle near his native village. He married Marit Haagensdatter Holte (1777- 1834) during 1804. The couple were the parents of two children. He died accidentally at his farm during the summer of 1816 after being kicked by a horse. [2] [3] [4]

Sivert Bratberg represented Nordre Trondhjems amt (now Nord-Trøndelag) at the Norwegian Constituent Assembly in 1814, together with Hans Christian Ulrik Midelfart and Hieronymus Heyerdahl. Here he generally supported the position of the independence party (Selvstendighetspartiet). [5] [6] [7]
