c. He attended a university in Rome.

Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, lived from 742/747/748 to 814, which was before the founding of the first universities. The concept of a university as we know it today did not exist at that time. Charlemagne did place a heavy emphasis on education and learning, and he patronized intellectual and cultural circles, but he did not attend a university in Rome or anywhere else, because such institutions were not yet established.
