Did Victoria marry John for his money?
She was quite a lot younger than John and from a poor Mexican family and John was a well off landowner.
shareUh....WHAT? Are you sure you're watching The High Chaparral?
Try watching the first two episodes again.
John is land poor - everything he and his family had they put into buying that land.
Victoria's father is richer than rich.
Oh, I just figured something out...you're what's called a troll, right? And I just fed you.
Shame on me. Won't happen again.
No need to be rude I was just making an observation as I have never seen the first episodes and have not seen this programme previously at all and only recently watched a few episodes on one of those obscure satellite channels.
shareVictoria had no say in the decision. That is a point that Don Sebastian made. She was past marriage age in Mexico and rejected all suitors her father set up for her. Of course, despite being from an artsypcratoc family,?she proved herself right from the very beginning much tougher then her brother or Blue, That was something that JohnCannonres a very hard Cannon really liked about her.
shareJust watched Episode 3 Season 1. Victoria was ordered to go home by her father Don Sebastian and she refused. She wants the life of adventure and building an empire that John Cannon can bring her. She told her father she never would have agreed to the Arrangement that her father and Cannon made if that is not the life she wanted. A big part was reading the diary of the former Mrs. Cannon and she was the total opposite of Victoria ( not liking the hard life that Cannon chose). It was interesting that Cannon's wife talked about the lack of affection that he showed towards the family despite the fact he loved her. That knowledge plus Cannon saving her when she was on fire, and letting her know she was wanted and appreciated made the decision ( and Cannon let her know it was her decision) made it easy.
