The Ylostins (or ''Ilostins'') was a Frisian castle or a so-called stins in the city of IJlst, Friesland, Netherlands History It is not clear whether the city of IJlst gave its name to the Ylostins, or whether it was the other way around. The Harinxma thoe IJlst family founded the Ylostins in the Middle Ages, probably around 1400. After the family, the castle was also called Harinxmastins. The Ylostins was on the south side of the city. Together with the church on the north side, it formed a defensible complex. The owner of the Ylostins was also the “eeheer or olderman” of IJlst.

Awadh (), known in British Raj historical texts as Avadh or Oudh, is a historical region in northern India and southern Nepal, now constituting the North-central portion of Uttar Pradesh. It is roughly synonymous with the ancient Kosala Region of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain scriptures. It was a province of all the major Islamic dynasties in India including the Mughal Empire. With the decline of late Mughal Delhi, Awadh became a major source of literary, artistic, religious, and architectural patronage in northern India under the rule of its eleven rulers, called Nawabs. From 1720 to 1856, the nawabs presided over Awadh, with Ayodhya and Faizabad serving as the region's initial capitals. Later, the capital was relocated to Lucknow, which is now the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The British conquered Awadh in 1856, which infuriated Indians and was recognised as a factor causing the Indian Rebellion (1857-58), the biggest Indian uprising against British rule.
