How did the Accusations go down outside France? Dr. Rainy.

Like a lead balloon. The King of England wrote to the Pope saying, "you can't be serious!" A whole lot of people were totally baffled by the part about the head, and about the cat too (thank you, Sir Richard!) No-one believed that charges outside of France, which to me is further evidence that the charges were fabricated. It was widely recognised that the whole thing was a cynical plot by the French king.
