When I choose the Settle option for my Soverign, my Soverign then is moved in a random direction. How about just leaving it there and letting me move it? In one case, I was almost moved right on top of a pack of wolves!

In the picture above, I was moved south, but in other games I was moved north or south. I think one time I even stayed put. Maybe it depends on how many moves I have left?
And while we're at it, does choosing Settle cost a movement point?
