Of all native kings of Britain, Coilus was the most Romanized. He was brought up in Rome and favored their company in Britain. Throughout his entire reign, he paid Rome its tribute without question. In Britain, he allowed the nobles peace and granted them large gifts. He was succeeded by his only son, St. Lucius.
