The Thane of Cawdor joined forces with the King of Norway to attack Scotland. He was a Quisling, a traitor, a fifth columnist. Such people are never popular especially with the rulers of the countries they betray.
The Thane of Cawdor joined in a revolt against Duncan, King of Scotland, and was unsuccessful. He was then stripped of his title, which was given to Macbeth, one of the soldiers who had distinguished himself against the Norwegians.
Many people think that Macbeth was in the battle where Cawdor was captured, but if that was the case, he would not be surprised to find that Cawdor was stripped of his title. "The Thane of Cawdor lives, a prosperous gentleman. Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?" Macbeth was therefore in a different battle, against the Norwegians assisted by Macdonweald.

"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!" Macbeth is actually already Thane of Cawdor when the witches. Macbeth was fighting the Norwegians and Macdonweald at Forres when someone else was fighting the Norwegians and Cawdor at Fife, so Macbeth is not even aware that the Thane of Cawdor is an attainted traitor. Hence he scoffs at the idea that he could be Cawdor when "the Thane of Cawdor lives, a prosperous gentleman". However, Ross, Duncan, the witches and the audience know that Macbeth is the new Thane of Cawdor, even though he doesn't.
