I forgot to add that I found Olaf's reaction to Arthur's peaceful gesture during the fight slightly unbelievable. He wanted to kill Arthur for being in love with his daughter after all, but Arthur ending the fight suddenly makes everything forgotten and alright? So what about fighting until death and Arthur violating Olaf's law and protocol?

A similar, yet even more incomprehensible situation appeared later when Odin made peace with Arthur all of a sudden only because Arthur said a few words and thought that they were even like "I killed your son, you killed my father, let's forget about it and shake hands, all is fine and great...." Years of seeking revenge was forgotten all of a sudden when Arthur spared Odin's life. That's not how it works.

Not to mention Annis forgiving Arthur for killing her husband in cold blood, only because Arthur spared the Champion's life. She even glorified him and they became friends. If was just that easy to make peace after committing crimes and/or killing loved ones, everyone, even Uther would have only had to sit down with everyone and talk it over for a minute - problems solved.
