Capítol 3: De Norwich a Caen
 Tinc 30 anys, treballo en la construcció de la catedral. Estic casat, i amb la meva dona hem decidit marxar a viure a França perquè el visve nessesita terreny i vol tirar les cases, la nostra inclosa. Ja que aquí ens costara trobar treball i una casa on viure, marxarem a França, per començar de zero.

Capitol 1 CANTERBURY
Estimat diari soc l'Edmund de Norwich. em trobo al nostre castell. Els meus pares han estat lluitant tot el dia i ens han pres tot el menjar i també les terres. Van entrar al castell a robar i van agafar tota la fusta,i ara fa molt fred, a pesar de tot encara estem en risc de perdre-ho tot,tindrem que anar a un altre país que es diu Canterbury. Tenim que preparar-ho molt rápid perque sinó ho acabarem perdent tot. Ara estem aprofitant aquest moment i estic molt preocupat perqué jo hem vull escapar ja.

CAPITOL 2. ELCASTELL

Tinc 20 anys, treballava recollint els fems a les latrines. Un amic meu que treballava amb mi va morir d’una infecció i jo em posava malalt sovint. He decidit canviar de feina, ara treballo en la construcció d’un castell però s’ha acabat ràpid. Ja no se de què viure.

My name is Edmund

My name is Edmund but people call me Edmund of Norwich. Today, at the hour of my death and penniless, I am writing these words as my only legacy after having lived for a long time. I have seen how my friends, enemies and relatives have died. God has tormented me for living such a long life.

 I was born in Norwich in the year of Our Lord MLXVI. It is said that the day I was born a bright light crossed the sky. My parents thought this was a sign that something bad was about to happen. But it was not only me who suffered from a disaster; my own country suffered too. It was invaded by Norman people. One day in October a battle took place near Hastings. William, Duke of Normandy from France fought against his cousin Harold, king of England. The battle lasted from nine in the morning to late afternoon when King Harold was killed by an arrow in his eye and a sword from a Norman soldier. After that William marched to London where he was crowned new king of England. Years later I saw a very long, heavy precious tapestry with some of these events in it.
