Occasionally. In 1601 the Earl of Essex staged a rebellion against Queen Elizabeth which failed pathetically. The Lord Chamberlain's Men were involved tangentially in this, as they were hired by the conspirators to put on Richard II, a play about a king being overthrown. In 1605 a number of Catholic terrorists conspired to blow up the Houses of Parliament with Gunpowder on November 5. They were stopped just in time. Shakespeare alludes to some of the people tried for the attempt in his play Macbeth.
The immediate results of Caesar's assassination was civil unrest and political upheaval. The second triumvirate was eventually formed with each member jockeying for power.

Although Romeo and Juliet was written between 1591-1596, the play could have been set at any time from 1300 to 1600. An argument can be made that it takes place around the late 1400's. Italy was then in a time of unrest, as is showcased in the drama. One of the earlier authors of a version of the story, Luigi da Porto claimed that it took place in the early 14th century. One of his sources set it in the 15th century. When it was performed by Shakespeare's acting company, the costumes would have been contemporary with Shakespeare, that is to say, Elizabethan or 16th century. It is doubtful whether Shakespeare or his contemporaries were much concerned about the period of the play. Since Shakespeare's day it has been found that the play works even with post-Elizabethan settings, such as those set in the 1920's or the 1990's. Romeo and Juliet is a really good play and will be passed down for generations to come for its timeless message about true love and the boundaries that come along with a passionate love Most people say that Romeo and Juliet was during the Renaissance Period.
The poem is a disillusioned musing on Maud Gonne,the Irish feminist and nationalist, an object of Yeats' pesistent but unfulfilled love.Despite his persistent proposals to marry him she chose another man in their own circle.When Gonne's daughter turned down his request to marry him,he continued the spiritual married life with Gonne. The poem,written in 1938 is a last look at the unfulfilled infatuation.Gonne is no longer a living legend of passion but a bronze head that attends all political funerals.Her head had been cast in plaster by Lawrence Campbell in the Municipal Gallery in Dublin.The decay of warm relationship coincided with war and unrest in the world.Hysterica passio refers to The King Lear and means sheer madness, a favourite phrase of Yeats to indicate the decadence of Irish public life of the time.The tomb haunting lady was once the elixir of life to revolution;but now a lifeless statue.And revolution failed in bloodshed and disorder.This is one among the last poems of Yeats.
A certain amount, yes. The issue of religion was extremely divisive and both extreme Protestants and Catholics caused trouble. Of course the Intelligence Department was on to the sundry plots to take over the government by revolution and let them develop to the point of no return, as they did with Guy Fawkes in 1605. In the last few years of Queen Elizabeth's life there was a certain amount of tenseness since it was not exactly clear who should succeed her. People were nervous that the lack of a clear successor might lead to civil war, but as it turned out, there was no difficulty.
No. Henry VII died some years before Shakespeare was born.
Societal and political unrest
In Chapter 11 of "Cue for Treason," Shakespeare decides to give up the theater because he is disillusioned by the recent events that have caused unrest and chaos in the country. He is also tired of dealing with the political pressure and censorship that come with staging plays during that time. Shakespeare wants to focus on writing his plays without being constrained by the political environment.
The unequal distribution of wealth causes much political unrest.

societal and political unrest (apex)
Shakespeare likely wrote "Macbeth" after the Gunpowder Plot as a reflection of the political and social unrest present in England during that time. The themes of ambition, power, and betrayal in the play may have resonated with the anxieties surrounding treason and political instability following the failed assassination attempt. Additionally, exploring the consequences of unchecked ambition and moral corruption in "Macbeth" could have served as a cautionary tale about the dangers of political upheaval.
