Yes, fear of anarchy was a big factor in Shakespeare's time. The Wars of the Roses, a period which represented a loss of coherent government and proliferation of violence, were not so far in the past as to be erased from the consciousness of the people. That is why people were afraid that Queen Elizabeth had no child to succeed her: they were afraid that disputes over the succession would result in civil war. This explains why the theme of the succession of power was of such significance in Shakespeare's work.
