Which statement about Charlemagne's achievements is not true? A. He was crowned the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire by Pope Leo III in a lavish ceremony in Rome. B. He was a king of the Saxons who resisted the pope's efforts to spread Christianity throughout Gaul. C. He waged war against the Lombards and the Moors and greatly expanded the territory of his empire. D. He established schools and supported monasteries in their efforts to preserve learning.
I think it's C...
No, he did go to war with the lombards..the Franks under an earlier king, Pepin the Short, had battled the Lombards in defense of the Pope in the years 754 and 756, forcing the Lombards to give up land to both the Frankish kingdom and to the Pope’s rule.
Hmmm...
It is B, Charlemagne waged war on the Saxons to force them to give up their land to the Pope.
Ohhh..
Lol sorry I'm REALLY bad at history. I still have a ton more questions. Thanks! :D
He was never the king of the Saxons and never hesitated to overthrow a country for the pope.
No problem.
