Ben M. Angel comments:

Apparently the title of Elizabeth's father is Lord of Tusburie and Witten. These appear to be German cities, which is probably an indication of participation in the ongoing 30 Years War that was being fought from 1618-1648 between Protestants in the north and Catholics in the south.

As such, I couldn't find a Tusburie in England, but I did find an alternate source that suggested Elizabeth was born in Admington or Lark Stoke (both in Shipston-on-Stour district).
