The Pipe Rolls (e.g. for Kent 1205) refer to 'Comite / Comitissa de Clara' (Earl / Countess of Clare) so it is not just a modern usage but had to have been accepted and fully understood else it would not have been used by the crown scribes to refer to that family in Exchequer records. Prof. Bartlett also refers to them as the Earls of Clare in his New Oxford History of England volume (p212).-- Littleangelicrose ( talk) 17:09, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Seems the king thought their was a medieval Earl of Clare?
