He was the second son of Bolesław II of Płock and his first wife Gaudemantė (Sophia), the daughter of Grand Duke Traidenis of Lithuania. He was named after his maternal grandfather.

Initially Trojden I maintained excellent relations with Władysław I the Elbow-high. Thanks to his intervention, in ca. 1309/10 Trojden I could married Maria, daughter of Yuri I, King of Halych-Volhynia. Thanks to this union, when in 1323 became extinct the royal Rurikid dynasty in Halych-Volhynia, and thanks to the help of Władysław I, Trojden I was able to put into the throne his own oldest son Bolesław, who asumed the name Yuri II (in honour of his maternal grandfather).
In 1325 Trojden I and Siemowit I send a letter to the Pope determined the eastern border of their possession as reaching two miles from Grodno (Oppidi quod dictur Grodno, ... a terrarum nostrorum ad duas lencas posit).[2]

In 1339 Trojden I was again close to the Kingdom of Poland, ruled at the time by Casimir III the Great.
