If a person chooses death just because it is one of several choices, that is suicide. If one accepts death because the ONLY possible alternative is to deny one's convictions and beliefs, that is martyrdom. If St. Clare is a martyr, it is because she accepted death rather than denial of faith. However, neither of the two Saint Clares I found, Saint Clare of Assisi, and Saint Clare of Montefalco, were physical martyrs.
