Very little is known about him. He is mentioned by ancient historian Tacitus as being a client king who of the Romans who was loyal. A surviving inscription says that he dedicated a temple to Neptune and Minerva. The Romans called him Tiberius Claudius Cogidunsus, which suggests that he was given Roman citizenship. It is not even fully certain when he reigned. Tacitus mentioned him in a work he published in 98 AD and said that he was 'loyal down to our times.' This is vague time frame is the only one available.

Cogidubnus supported the Roman's so that his tribe would have protection from other tribes in Britain. He also supported the Romans so that he could gain their trust and his tribe would not be attacked while the Romans were invading Britain. He also supported them more so that his tribe could become more powerful and in return he was given Roman citizenship and a palace.
