With great love, francis wrote for his followers a simple rule to define their life together. clare was a dozen years younger than francis and a member of the noble class. her life was far more sheltered but like her mother, clare was known throughout assisi for her generosity to the poor. This was st. clare of assisi, the noble born daughter who became the spiritual sister of st. francis of assisi and the founder of the order of poor ladies—later known as the poor clares. though often remembered as a follower in francis's shadow, st. clare was a towering figure in her own right. With the help of st. francis, clare soon founded a new religious order for women, which later came to be known as the poor clares. her example of faithfulness had such an impact upon her mother and her sister agnes, that they also joined her in holy service, becoming fellow members of the order.
