Those wishing to find out more information on St. Clare may wish to go to the Catholic Online 
Saints website at http://www.catholic.org/saints/saints/clare.html.  

As to the Sinclair/St. Clair namesake, he was St. Clarus from Rochester, England.  His refusal 
to give sexual favors to a noblewoman of Normandy was the occasion for his murder and beheading.  
The site for St. Clarus is http://www.catholic.org/saints/saints/clarus2.html.  There is also 
another St. Clarus on this list, but he is of modern times.
