Sharp, James (1613–79). Archbishop. Sharp was educated at Aberdeen University and appointed professor of philosophy at St Andrews. In 1649 he was admitted to the living at Crail and rapidly became a leader of the resolutioners, the more moderate presbyterian group. At the Restoration he worked closely with
Monck and was sent to Breda to negotiate with Charles II.
Burnet accused Sharp of systematic hypocrisy in praising
presbyterianism while working to restore episcopacy. He was appointed royal chaplain in Scotland, made archbishop of St Andrews in 1661, and confirmed in the primacy. He then began a determined attack upon the presbyterian clergy he had just left. In 1668 he escaped a serious attempt at assassination but in 1679 fell into the hands of a
covenanting group in Fife and was murdered. The incident led to the covenanting rising, suppressed at
Bothwell Bridge, and was used by Scott in
Old Mortality.
