Different  Type Of Angels

The most influential Christian angelic hierarchy was that put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the 5th or 6th century in his book De Coelesti Hierarchia (On the Celestial Hierarchy). Dionysius described nine levels of spiritual beings which he grouped into three orders:[1][2][3]

Highest orders
Seraphim
Cherubim
Thrones
Middle orders
Dominions
Virtues
Powers
Lowest orders
Principalities
Archangels
Angels
During the Middle Ages, various schemes were proposed, some drawing on and expanding on Pseudo-Dionysius, others suggesting completely different classifications.
