Who was most responsible for Arthur's death? Mordred? Morgana? Merlin? Arthur? Aithusa? Uther? Kilgharrah? Some force of the Old Religion, like the Triple Goddess?

We're told that Arthur is his own bane, so does this mean that he alone is ultimately responsible for his own fate? But then again, when he is given the chance to change his fate, it's Merlin who tells him not to take the opportunity. And what about Mordred, who actually inflicts the mortal wound? Does the fact that he was just fulfilling what he was destined to do absolve him of any (or at least, most of the) guilt in the matter?

(And what about Gaius, who just showed up to treat Arthur with a paltry handful of comfrey...haha!)
