Why? Or why not, as you like it. The task of a captain is to sit in the back, give morale support and stay alive (in the TW games, that is), and a unit of peasants can handle that just fine. The heavy cavalry is in that case free to do as it´s intended: charge into the fray, something you shouldn´t do with your general´s unit, lest you risk to lose him.

I´ll agree it sort of feels wrong, the commander of the whole army being a member of the worst unit in it, but within the mechanics of the TW game it would work without problems.
