Morgana had magical abilities and stole the scabbard of The Excalibur, which had the power to heal all illnesses. Another reason Arthur died was that he had emotional troubles when his wife Guinevere started loving Lancelot. That caused emotional struggles for Arthur.

     Another problem Arthur had was Morgause. She used dragon’s breath (taught to her by Merlin) to trap Arthur and have their son Mordred. The next factor was Mordred. He was the one who told Arthur about Arthur's wife and Lancelot. Finally, they met on the battlefield and while Arthur killed Mordred, Mordred got the chance to give Arthur a mortal wound.
