Hernán initially studied law at the University of Salamanca for 2 years, but later on he dropped out hoping to make a fortune in America. Hernán’s parents were opposed to his plans since they thought that he would have been equipped for a lucrative legal career after his studies.
However, the 2 years of legal education would later on secure him the upper hand in justifying his unconstitutional conquest of Mexico.
