My friends & I are debating on whether the sword controlled Uryens to knight Arthur because he was the rightful heir or Excalibur somehow made it clear to Uryens (mentally?) thus changing Uryens mind
What's the difference? In your second scenario, if Ureyens didn't change his mind after Excalibur's initial nagging, it's hard to imagine that Excalibur would've just given up and let Ureyens kill the king for which the land had waited two decades. Excalibur would've kept at him like Harry Mudd's wives. The sword effectively "controlled" Ureyens however you articulate it. -

Similar scene when Arthur draws the sword and hands it to his brother Kay. At first Kay says he drew it, then immediately recants and says Arthur did it. I didn't see any conflict between him and the sword in making that choice. He just did it on his own. Shows him as a man with integrity who although tempted, overcomes that temptation for power and relents. Uryens makes that same choice, although I think the actor overacted it a bit. Although Uryens is a bit of a loudmouth, he still had the integrity of a knight.
Still like how it throws off Merlin when he does it.- or so the Germans would have us believe
