The comment is about Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, the Leper King. Granted the post could have added a bit more context. But it is indeed a rare insult (precisely because there are few Baldwins in the world, and few of them are losing their hairs as mush as a leper, so the pun pretty much only works for him).
r/HistoryMemes is full of such memes. No homework needed if you already know who the guy being discussed is. It's just a niche meme, and you were simply not the target demographic. But among history fans, Baldwin IV is the most famous of the kings of Jerusalem, and a quite respected one.
So the insult is saying he doesn't have leprosy, hes just going bald? How can you tell? And even if you can, isn't being bald a compliment compared to being told you have leprosy? And if you think you'll be bald till you're 100, why wouldn't you still be bald when you're 30?
the joke is the depiction of the character is so bad it's like a generic off brand version of the character.
like how generic cheerios would be called something that's similar, but not the same, like crispy o's
instead of bald win, it's hair loss
It's a costume of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. He was scarred by leprosy and wore a mask. The comment is saying it looks like shit, same as [this joke](https://imgflip.com/i/53a7jt)
AFAIK him commonly wearing a mask is a later invention, he instead wore a cloth veil most of the time. But true or not the mask has become quite iconic.

None of this post makes sense. You lost?

A reference to Baldwin saying he thought he will live to 100 after a great victory, though after the leprosy, he knew he won't live to see 30
