Occupation: Canon 1578, Dean 1590

Claus Berg (also Berrig, born 1546, died 1614) was a Norwegian canon.

Claus Berg was the son of Bishop Frants Berg in Oslo, and according to his own statement was born in Copenhagen. His father settled him in 1555 in his hometown of Odense, from where he became a student in 1565. While he went to school in Odense, his father applied in 1559 for a canonry in Oslo Cathedral for him, which he probably did not get, but instead promised maintenance, when he had studied and could serve the church. In 1570 he went to Rostock and from there to Wittenberg, Leipzig, Strasbourg and many other places and in 1574 returned to Copenhagen and then to Norway, where he apparently shortly after received a canonry in Hammer and became parish priest in Skjee in Vestfold.

After receiving several royal letters at the cantor's office, Clemens Pedersen's canonry in Oslo, he seems in 1581 to have come into calm possession of this, as he relinquished Skjee priesthood to mr. Clemens' son. Claus Berg also became cantor and from 1590 was also dean at the Oslo chapter. He died in the summer of 1614 and was buried in Oslo Cathedral. He was married for the first time in 1575 to Inger Jensdatter Bagge and the second time in 1594 to Elsebe Olufsdatter Theiste av Bjelland, who later married Peder Christophersen Rytter to Fosser. In these marriages he had 20 children.

Claus Berg belonged to the circle of literary interested men, the so-called Oslo Humanists, who lived in Oslo at the end of the 16th century, and has even had a Vise about Mrs. Sophie Juel's Life and Life and a Calendarium perpetuum printed after Oslo pole height, and left a interesting account of his father's family. Claus Berg is said to have started a collection of coats of arms from his and his spouses' relatives as well as some of their relatives. The collection is part of "Nicolas Bergh's weapon book" which is named after his grandson's son. Claus Berg, as decanus capituli, has made a profit by caring for the diocese's old land book (The Red Book) from Bishop Øystein's time; he also provided this with a register and various remarks.
