I think that this would have put Arthur in a terrible position.

As he had given his word to abide by this agreement, I don't think that he would have reneged on the deal so, as a very new King, he would have been dealt the crushing blow of having lost half of the kingdom his father had built.

Queen Annis would have had a choice between keeping the territory, thereby increasing her own holdings or, if she didn't want Morgana in her hair or if she didn't want to have to deal with divided loyalties on the parts of her new subjects, she could have given the surrendered half over to Morgana. It's what I would have done in her shoes, as it would mean that Morgana would focus on Arthur and the other half of Camelot rather than on me and my kingdom.

If Queen Annis kept the half of Camelot, I can't see Arthur trying to seize it back. If it ended up in Morgana's hands, he might fight for it or he might not, depending on whether he was willing to risk losing the other half or if he was desperate enough to come to some sort of peace with his sister.
