Kjell Bondevik (11 March 1901 – 21 December 1983) was a Norwegian politician for the

Christian Democratic Party
.

He was born in

Grini for one day, later at Jørstadmoen and Kirkenes, but was released.[2]

He was elected to the

cabinet Lyng. During this period, Knut Haus filled his seat in the Parliament. In 1965 he was again appointed to a cabinet post, this time as Minister of Education and Church Affairs in the cabinet Borten, which lasted until 1971.[1]

When the cabinet Borten fell over a controversy related to the forthcoming

Labour cabinet Bratteli. In this context Bondevik described himself as djupt såra og vonbråten, "deeply hurt with broken hopes". This is a well-known quote in Norwegian history.[3]

Bondevik also worked at the

honorary doctorate at the University of Tromsø, as the first person. He authored many books, mostly about history topics. Biographies about him were published in 1969 and 1981.[1]

Kjell Bondevik is also known as the uncle of Kjell Magne Bondevik, later Prime Minister,[4] and father of bishop Odd Bondevik.
