Possibly get manipulated by different houses into dealing with their enemies, try to establish myself as a sovereign house/nation, be a dick by pressing my beliefs upon other houses peasants/working class, initiate unconventional warfare against the crown, have the leader be a scheming d-bag that takes advantage of civil unrest with peasants. And the list goes on. Basically they would be like a noble house but more far reaching but also ill equipped to deal with say knights or an organized military.

Yea, but a peasant army would be treated as an uprising or group of outlaws. You'd be hunted by everyone else. Does that work for you? I don't see a long future in this RP for you this way :P
