Konrad Eubel provides a list of the cardinals at the Conclave of October 1503, in which he states that Melchior Cupis von Meckau was not present. Joannes Burchard, the papal Master of Ceremonies for the Conclave, does not include Von Meckau or his conclavists in his list of participants. There were thirty-nine cardinal electors present for the September conclave.
