Dig up Richard I’s internal parts (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disinter

'dig up' is the definition.
(disinterring is a kind of digging up)

'richard i's internal parts' is the wordplay.
'parts' says the answer is hidden in the clue (part of the clue provides the answer).
'DISINTER' is hidden within 'richard is internal'.

(Other definitions for disinter that I've seen before include "Dig up, say a body" , "Dig up a dead body" , "Exhume a body" , "Dig up something buried" , "Unearth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
