If it was a fight to the death, Arthur was being very cavalier with his kingdom's future by fighting himself. Had he died, Agravaine would presumably succeed as King of half of Camelot but it'd be a weakened kingdom, ripe for the picking.

Another What If: What if Arthur allowed one of the knights to fight for him against Queen Annis' champion and the knight lost?
