Suzette began her musical career as the drummer for Selena y Los Dinos, a Tejano band that featured her elder brother, A.B. Quintanilla, on bass guitar and her younger sister, Selena, as the lead vocalist. In 1989, the group secured a recording contract with EMI Latin. Following a series of critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, the label strategized a crossover for Selena into the mainstream English-language pop market. After Selena's death on March 31, 1995, Suzette retired from performing and devoted herself to safeguarding and promoting Selena's image through a variety of initiatives in collaboration with her family. She oversaw operations at the Selena Etc. boutiques, later expanding the brand's presence into major department stores, before the boutiques' closure in 2009. Suzette was appointed chief executive of Q-Productions in May 2016, after her father, Abraham Quintanilla stepped down. She oversees the label's operations, manages the Selena Museum, and directs licensing initiatives for Selena-related ventures...

The Crusades of the 15th century are those Crusades that follow the Crusades after Acre, 1291–1399, throughout the next hundred years. In this time-period, the threat from the Ottoman Empire dominated the Christian world, but further threats—from the Mamluks, Moors, and heretics—impinged upon the Christian West as well. The Ottomans gained significant territory in all theaters, but did not defeat Hospitaller Rhodes, nor advance past the Balkans; in addition, the Reconquista was completed, and heresies continued to be suppressed. The Fall of Constantinople in 1453 marked the end of the Byzantine Empire, and the Teutonic Knights were spent as a fighting force. The Crusades would continue for almost another 100 years, with the expansion of the Ottoman Empire into a major world power—a level of international influence that lasted into the 20th century.
