To determine which statement about Charlemagne's achievements is not true, we need to examine each option:

A. He waged war against the Lombards and the Moors and greatly expanded the territory of his empire.

To verify this statement, we can look for historical records, such as chronicles or biographies, that mention Charlemagne's military campaigns and territorial expansion.
