The angelology of Pseudo-Dionysius, which was widely read as of the 6th century, gave Michael a rank in the [[hierarchy of angels]]. Later, in the 13th century, others such as Bonaventure believed that he is the prince of the [[Seraphim]], the first of the nine [[angel|angelic]] orders. According to Thomas Aquinas and [[Robert Fludd]], he is the prince of the last and lowest choir, the [[angels]]. Robert Ambelain places him over the choir of [[Virtues]].
