contents In this work, we prove that a generic unfolding of an analytic Hamiltonian Hopf singularity (in an open set with codimension 1 boundary) possesses transverse homoclinic orbits for subcritical values of the parameter close to the bifurcation parameter. As a consequence, these systems display chaotic dynamics with arbitrarily large topological entropy. We verify that the Hamiltonian of the restricted planar circular three-body problem (RPC3BP) close to the Lagrangian point $L_4$ falls within this open set. The generic condition ensuring the presence of transversal homoclinic intersections is subtle and involves the so-called Stokes constant. Thus, in the case of the RPC3BP close to $L_4$, our result holds conditionally on the value of this constant.
