Elizabeth (Holand) Fiennes's parentage is not specifically stated, only that she was sister of Sir John Holand, of Northamptonshire. That Elizabeth was a Holand is proven by several records, the first being a Fynes pedigree in the published Visitation of Sussex which states:

"Sr Roger Fynes knt. = Elizabeth d. of…. Holland of com. Northampton." [Reference: T. Benolte et al., Vis. of Sussex 1530, 1633–4 (H.S.P. 53) (1905): 11–12].

Confirmation of Elizabeth Fiennes' maiden name is likewise provided by Sussex Arch. Colls. 4 (1851): 148–152, which reports that Elizabeth Holand's arms (azure semée of fleur-de-lis) "existed in painted glass in the east window of the Chapel of the Castle."

Additional concrete evidence of Elizabeth's maiden name is provided by an interesting record found on the helpful A2A online catalogue (http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp). The following item is taken from Centre for Kentish Studies: Barrett-Lennard Manuscripts, Catalogue Ref. U1384/E5:

This stained-glass window from Herstmonceux Castle shows the combined arms of Roger Fiennes and the Holand family (Sir John Holland, Elizabeth's father -- whose grandfather was Robert de Holand., 1st Lord Holand).
