How did Uther Pendragon convince the Duke of Cornwall to agree to let him be king?

Wow. This one has my brain working. Not certain which version you're working from! The passage of kingship vary according to time period and culture. And there are many different versions in Arthurian literature. But it is probably unlikely that Uther needed to convince anyone. In the literature he is described as a king's son, so when his father dies, and then his older brother dies, Uther would by right take the throne. So when we meet the Duke of Cornwall and his wife, Igraine, Uther is already king. I need to go back and re-read this portion of the Vulgate Cycle to see if this particular episode is detailed. Would make an interesting story.

Who is King Arthur's stepfather?
Uther Pendragon Arthur is the son of Uther the Pendragon first of his name, post Roman empire and pre Danish invasion over Wessex and Britannia. As the story of Arthur's existence is a fabled tail translated in over a hundred languages and as been around for a period of much longer, many different variations of the story exists. However, most do agree that his parentage came about when his biological father Uther, in the guise of his enemy Gorlois, weather the be due to Merlin's magic or simple trickery, met with Gorlois's wife Igraine and copulated with her. Merlin made Uther promise that if this deed were to end in a child's birth, that Uther would give up the baby to Merlin, and in return Merlin also helped Uther defeat his enemy Gorlois in battle. During the birth of Arthur, Igraine begged and pleaded with Merlin to be allowed to keep the child but Uther was a man of his word and took the newborn baby away and handed him to Merlin. It has been said that another child was made by Uther and Igraine, a legitimate heir to the throne and was named Mordred. Over time this has changed as the early works made Arthur a usurper to the throne of Britain and surprisingly, also made Arthur a warmongering tyrant. In the later versions, the clubbed footed Mordred was conceived by Arthur and his sister Morgause (Morgan le Fey). But in all cases the story ends the same with a great battle in which Arthur kills Mordred and is also mortally wounded. The fable ends with Arthur now resting in the forever sleep to be woken when Britain need's its king again. Excalibur will once again be placed back into Arthur's hand.

Who did King Arthur father Mordred with?
disputable... either morgause or Morgan le fay. they were sisters.. so *** The role of Mordred's mother has traditionally been Morgause--Morte d'Arthur and the French Vulgate Cycle concur on this point. The confusion with Morgan has been a modern misconception because many modern works of fiction have shifted that role to Morgan. ****** Arthur is the son of Uther the Pendragon first of his name, post Roman empire and pre Danish invasion over Wessex and Britannia.
