Back in the 15th century Queen Elizabethans saw a whole creation of different hierarchical which was decreed by the god. She think that God is the highest form of being below god is angels and demons then below these creatures are stars, moons, kings, prince, nobles, men, wild animals, domesticated animals, trees, other plants, precious stones, precious metal, and minerals. Each level of hierarchy has its own level within the creations. For example there are different types of angels with the Seraphim and Cherubim at the top going down to Archangels and Angels at the bottom.
