The Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England (PASE) is a database and associated website that aims to construct a prosopography of individuals within Anglo-Saxon England [1] The PASE online database[2] presents details (which it calls factoids) of the lives of every recorded individual who lived in, or was closely connected with, Anglo-Saxon England from 597 to 1087,[3] with specific citations to (and often quotations from) each primary source describing each factoid.

PASE was funded by the British Arts and Humanities Research Council from 2000 to 2008 as a major research project based at King's College London in the Department of History and the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, and at the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge.[1][3][4]
The first phase of the project was launched at the British Academy on 27 May 2005 and is freely available on the Internet at www.pase.ac.uk.[2] A second phase (PASE2), released on 10 August 2010, added information drawn chiefly from the Domesday Book to the database.[3][5] The landholdings of these individuals are mapped. Each person is assigned a number, to aid the ready identification of individuals in future scholarship
The PASE database is dedicated to Professor Nicholas Brooks and Dr Ann Williams.
