acceded
Yielded to pressure
Acceded is the past tense of accede, meaning to agree or consent to a request or demand: The company acceded to the union's demands.
It also means to take on a position of power or authority: Elizabeth acceded to the throne in 1952.
Both senses share an underlying notion of coming into alignment—with another's wishes or with a new role.
